Implementation of wireless-fidelity (Wi-Fi) instruments for rural areas of North Carolina

Abstract

Technology has allowed for increased feasibility and productivity in our daily lives. This research will promote the use of universal broadband access to individuals located around the proposed research region, investigate the current state of wireless networks, and provide an evaluation on how effective Wi-Fi technologies can be used to connect individuals in remote areas of the geographic research regions. This includes, but is not limited to, gathering, analyzing, and distributing data as it pertains to Wi-Fi for regions where the technology is not available. Additionally, this research will focus on Wi-Fi's history, security and speed, its connection with war-driving and the business sector, and its integration with PlaceLab. Lastly, research will be conducted throughout the Midwest region of Greensboro NC to implement better use of Wi-Fi. The primary aim of this research is to build solutions related to Wi-Fi implementation issues using data collected to expand the coverage area of underdeveloped regions of North Carolina.
