Mongolia Wireless Field Tests

现有的一项名为“无线现场测试项目”的合同(NCR9527664)所取得的经验教训将用于实施因特网节点与蒙古首都乌兰巴托的七个研究机构之间的无线通信。由于乌兰巴托传统的苏联时代电话基础设施不足以支持所需的互联网应用，因此需要无线链路来支持美国和蒙古的研究合作。除了提供美国和蒙古研究人员之间所需的互联网连接外，该项目还将在比当前NSF无线项目所经历的更恶劣的物理环境中测试无线系统。它还将测试一支在技术上有能力，但在文化和物质上偏远的当地团队维护和操作设备的能力。这将为未来互联网扩展到其他优先考虑美国研究活动的偏远地区提供有价值的见解。

Lessons already learned under an existing award (NCR9527664) entitled "Wireless Field Test Project" will be applied to implement wireless communications between the Internet node and seven research institutions in Mongolia's capital, Ulaanbaatar. The wireless links are needed to support U.S.-Mongolian research collaborations because the legacy Soviet era telephone infrastructure in Ulaanbaatar is not adequate for supporting the needed Internet applications. In addition to providing needed Internet connectivity between U.S. and Mongolian researchers, this project will test the wireless systems in a harsher physical environment than is experienced in the current NSF wireless project. It will also test the ability of a technically competent, but culturally and physically remote local team to maintain and operate the equipment. This will provide valuable insight for future Internet extensions to other remote areas that have priority for U.S. research activities.
