Wireless Networking for Development
Training activities on digital radio have been carried out by the ARPL (Aeronomy and RadioPropagation Laboratory) group at ICTP since 1996, and some 1500 participants from all the continents have attended.
The School program is focused on innovative solutions in design and implementation of 2.4 GHz low-cost wireless local area networks (WLANs) not only interconnecting computers, but also offering data, audio, and video communications. Much of the school time is thus devoted to hands-on sessions on antenna building, installation, testing and measurements.
