Midterm Design Project

"Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.
- Marie Curie"

Due: Nov. 30, 2009

Design a wireless network that can be fast deployed in an area under disastrous strikes.
Use powerpoint to prepare a 10-minute slide presentation. For the presentation format, here is one.

The issues here are the communication infrastructures in such areas may have been destroyed due to the catastrophy. There may be no infrastructures at all in the first place.

Optical fiber, ADSL and cable modem alike are based on wired technology. Therefore, it is not viable to deploy in a short time, especially in disastrous areas. That's one of the reasons why people turn to wireless technology in such needs.

Therefore, in the design of wireless network, you may want to minimize the use of wired infrastructure.

Hurricane Katrina may be one of the examples where you can find some clues for this project.
