This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will research high bandwidth individualized wireless network (IWN) which is personalized to maximize flexibility and capability for individual users and minimize interference, crosstalk and extraneous information. A wireless network will be established which uses a standard protocol like IEEE 802.11b wireless Ethernet standard or the Bluetooth standard. Talking Lights optical selection technology will allow users to select among transmitted signals, personalize the transmission for individual users, provide CART captions and permit assisted conversations.The system will be developed in connection with experts on education of deaf and hard of hearing students and will be evaluated and tested in schools specializing in education of the handicapped to maximize user friendliness and value. Anticipated Results and Commercial Applications: As a result of this project, a new technology for communication of information will be developed which enhances the capability of wireless networks. A single network will be able to carry a broad variety of information. Modified IWN ballast transformers will be commercial products sold to replace current ballast transformers and allow fluorescent lights to perform dual use as locators. IWN optical will be commercial products sold to users. The software used to enable optical control of the wireless network will be a commercial product. Once installed, the modulated light sys-tem can also be used for assistance to hearing impaired and visually impaired users, assisted audio, direction finding, description of exhibits and many other applications

这项小型企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目将研究高带宽个性化无线网络（IWN），该网络是个性化的，可最大限度地提高个人用户的灵活性和能力，并最大限度地减少干扰、串扰和无关信息。将建立使用IEEE 802.11b无线以太网标准或蓝牙标准等标准协议的无线网络。“会说话的灯”光学选择技术将允许用户在传输信号中进行选择，为个人用户个性化传输，提供CART字幕并允许辅助对话。该系统将与聋人及听障学生教育专家共同开发，并将在残疾人教育专门学校进行评价和测试，以最大限度地提高用户的便利性和价值。预期结果和商业应用：该项目的结果是，将开发一种新的信息通信技术，增强无线网络的能力。一个单一的网络将能够承载各种各样的信息。改进的IWN镇流器变压器将成为商业产品，以取代现有的镇流器变压器，并允许荧光灯作为定位器执行双重用途。IWN光学将商业化产品销售给用户。用于实现无线网络光控制的软件将成为商业产品。安装后，调制光系统还可用于帮助听力受损和视力受损的用户，辅助音频，测向，展品描述和许多其他应用
