Here are some useful places to start with Aether:

* Setup an Aether software development environment with :doc:`Aether-in-a-Box </developer/aiab>`.

* For a PoC deployment, bring up an :doc:`Aether-in-a-Box on 4G Real Radios <developer/aiabhw>`.

* For a PoC deployment, bring up an :doc:`Aether-in-a-Box on 5G Real Radios <developer/aiabhw5g>`.

* Learn about how to :doc:`configure Aether using the ROC </operations/gui>`.

* Learn the requirements of hosting an :doc:`Aether Connected Edge
  </edge_deployment/overview>`.

* Read the most recent :doc:`Release Notes </release/2.0>`.
