Abstract :
In this paper, we present a new device brought online thanks to our Collaborative Remote Laboratories framework. Whereas previous devices integrated in our remote laboratory belongs to the domain of electronics, such as Vector Network Analyzers, the device at the concern in this paper is an antenna workbench. Because the middleware and framework for our environment were designed to be reusable, we wanted to illustrate these qualities by providing a completely new device in our Online Engineering catalog. After presenting the device to be put online, we will expose the software development efforts required in regards to the reusability of the solution.
