ITR: Flathead Reservation Wireless Community Network

ITR：Salish Kootenai学院的平头保留区无线社区网络将检查、探索和调整人们如何在这个农村保留区利用无线通信技术，以便更有效地从偏远地区进行交流。 该项目将通过各种无线网络技术，促进固定无线远程办公方面的教育和商业组织进程的变化。 此外，该项目还将大大提高校园内和整个保留区的其他组织的众多计划和研究项目。 将开展的其他活动包括协助教学、培训和扩大创新教育环境的技术和服务。 首先，看看在农村和偏远环境中，您可以在多大程度上推广无线技术，以提供高速网络连接。 第二，从根本上改变某些教育和商业组织过程的执行方式。 第三，通过各种无线活动增强人们对信息技术的体验。在该项目的前6个月，将部署一个单一的高速无线链路，为预订的选定部分提供服务。 第二个6个月将专注于开展初步研究活动，审查任何结果。 第三个6个月将致力于对正在进行的研究活动进行调整和修改，并增加另一条高速链路。 最后的6个月将集中在过渡到一个完全自给自足的，社区拥有的网络。平头保留区无线社区网络将与其他部落实体合作进行研究测试连接，以检查的有用性和人们如何响应高速无线网络连接。 在项目过程中，将采用各种无线网络技术，以测试每种技术的可靠性、功能性和实用性。 此外，该项目将与其他NSF赞助的具有无线组件和/或重点的项目合作。

The ITR: Flathead Reservation Wireless Community Network at Salish Kootenai College would examine, explore, and adjust how people utilize wireless communications technology on this rural reservation to interface more effectively from remote locations. This project will facilitate changes in educational and business organizational processes in fixed wireless telecommuting through various wireless networking technologies. In addition, this project will also greatly enhance numerous programs and research projects both on campus and with other organizations throughout the reservation. Other activities that will be implemented are technologies and services that assist in teaching, training and the expansion of innovative educational environments.The goal of this project is threefold. First, to see how far you can push wireless technology in a rural and remote environment to provide high-speed network connections. Second, to radically change the way certain educational and business organizational processes are carried out. Third, enhance peoples' experiences with information technology through a variety of wireless activities. During the first 6 months of the project, a single high-speed wireless link will be deployed to provide service to a selected part of the reservation. The second 6 months will focus on conducting the initial research activities, review of any results. The third 6 months will be devoted to making adjustments and modifications to ongoing research activities, and the addition of another high-speed link. The final 6 months will be focused on making the transition to a fully self-sufficient, community-owned network.The Flathead Reservation Wireless Community Network will be collaborating with other tribal entities on conducting research test connections to examine the usefulness and how people respond to high-speed wireless network connections. Over the course of the project, various wireless networking technologies will be employed as they become available to test the reliability, functionality and practicality of each. Also, this project will collaborate with other NSF-sponsored projects with a wireless component and/or focus.
