This WirelessU Workshop, "Wireless Internet for connectivity" is co-organized by AIT with support of NSRC, Wireless U, THNIC Foundation and NetworkTheWorld.org in order to provide participants hands-on experience on technologies and deploying wireless network in a campus or village environment. The workshop will focus on integrating various wireless services (e.g., VoIP) into the village and campus local area network (LAN). Overall, the workshop will help engineers to design, configure, troubleshoot and maintain small wireless networks in their NGO groups/villages, or campus networks.
This workshop has been motivated to make its participants knowledgeable on the following areas:
- Introduction to wireless network basics, and hands-on experience with wireless technology. The participants will be provided ample knowledge to design a small campus/village network on their own.
- Integrating VoIP service using wireless as transport medium with hands-on experience.
- Introductory knowledge on some advanced wireless topics, such as Mesh Networking, Future Wireless etc.
- As a whole, this workshop will help participants to design, configure, troubleshoot and maintain small wireless networks in their NGO groups/villages, or campus networks.
Target Audience:
IT staffs from Government and Non-Government Organiations, Humanitarian Foundations, Institutions, with basic knowledge and a few years experience in technologies and networking, and anyone who is interested in learning about wireless technologies
|
NSRC will send copies of the excellent O'Reilly Media book on Wireless for
the participants, 802.11 Wireless Networks: The Definitive Guide, plus the
Wireless Networking in the Developing World. Two of the authors of the WNDW
book will be instructors in this workshop.
