WlANs & Campus WLANs

Kotz , D and Essien K (2005 . Analysis of Campus-Wide Wireless Network The journal article speaks of user behavior in the utilization of wireless internet network connection . The study was conducted at Dartmouth College involving students , employees and faculty among school buildings , classrooms , discussion halls , dormitories , and residential buildings within the college , first during Fall 2001 and subsequently on Springtime 2002 . Particularly the study aims to determine and understand the amount and nature of the traffic network . In this regard , access points in indoor spaces were considered within the premises although there

would have been no problem had outdoor spaces were included because the college is compact in nature that even outdoor points are covered by the access points

Results may be categorized into the character of the user , whether students or not days of the week were traffic network is high and lastly , the hours of the day where such traffic network is high . In relation thereto , the study gives the implication of the results which will be discussed hereunder

Among the students , traffic network is at its peak on Sundays and Mondays and declines during Fridays and Saturdays . This is because students do their assignments , school work during the opening of the week and do relaxation during weekends . During peak days , traffic network is particularly at its peak around 10 o 'clock in the morning This could not be attributed to any reason but the speculated that this may because of the business class held in Tuck Business School (where the students are required to have their individual laptops

In residential and workplace vicinities within the college , traffic network is usually at its peak in the afternoon as the bulk of activity are done during such period , this continues until night time and declines during the wee hours

In sum , in residential areas and social places , it is peak hours during night time , with respect to academic areas , it is peak hours during the day . The same is true with regard to the libraries and lecture halls

Duration of traffic network are relatively short , with a median of 16 .6 minutes , 71 are connected in les than an hour and 27 in less than a minute

Contrary results are shown during the Springtime . Researches observed that this may relate to on-campus hosts

The study is very much reflective of our day to day activities . In my point of view , this reflects the present generation 's dependence on technology . Our day to day activities whether in school , work , or in our homes , internet has been widely used . Access is convenient , cost is low , communication is faster and better and work is a lot easier

Likewise , regard to ever growing technology must be made . It has practically changed our views on things but definitely aids in the progress of the business world , economy towards globalization
