Research that assesses current and proposed TRS technologies is used to help close functional equivalence gaps and create recommendations for regulation. TRS researchers spend a considerable amount of time and effort developing experimental environments, which has limited the field's ability to produce empirical studies. In response to this challenge, the MITRE Corporation has developed a telecommunications research platform called Accessible Communications for Everyone (ACE) Omni. This platform enables researchers to efficiently set up TRS experimental environments, emulate functionality of current TRS technologies, and test new technology solutions. Various design processes, information gathering activities, and the development of personas, research workflows, and functional requirements were leveraged in the design of ACE Omni. A preliminary validation study was conducted via in-lab piloting activities and in vivo to collect real-world TRS user data. Challenges during validation were addressed by making ACE Omni and/or study protocol modifications, and lessons learned are discussed. ACE Omni has the potential to reduce the time and financial costs associated with setting up and running TRS studies, which can promote more TRS research and enable improved service, telecommunication experiences, and outcomes for the community of TRS users.
