This thesis was a test to look at a possible wireless solution to provide internet for a developing area of a small village. By testing this solution, I clarified what was involved in deploying such a network and the obstacles that arise as well as what kind of problems this solution might present in the future.
This test was conducted between two buildings: one that had an internet connection (Internet service provider) available and a newly constructed building that did not (client). Antennas were mounted on both buildings and a file sharing server was deployed on the client side of the network for network speed and stability testing. The surrounding area was scanned for noise that could negatively impact the connection. The routers used in the network were old and cheap, as I used what was available to me at the time.
Very little noise was detected and an acceptable noise floor was set. The signal between the antennas could not reach optimal strength, but was at an acceptable level. At the time file transfer speed between buildings was found to be at 3 megabytes per second which can be increased in the future with equipment of better quality.
The initial findings indicated that this was a good solution to provide rural areas, without any infrastructure in place with an internet connection. More testing is required to ensure that no major problems present themselves.
