High-Performance Wireless Research and Education Network. Sharing Apple Airport Base Station Experiences. I started this "mini-site" in 2001 when I documented for the Airport community how to fix internal power supply failures associated with "Graphite" base stations. Since then, I have been asked to help Airport users with other issues such as how to retrofit extender antennas, add ventilation, resolve configuration issues, etc. Many people have contributed to this site, and I have attempted to credit them where possible. Furthermore, I have tried my best to present the information as accurately as I can given time and resource constraints. Thus, all information presented here is for entertainment purposes only and all projects you undertake as a result of the following pages are at your risk alone. Please remember: As you will discover, there are many interesting things you can do with your Apple base station. Cheers! "Graphite" Base Station Resources How to: Repair your Apple Base Station.

Award Information A. B. C. Proposal Review Information. NSF Informational Meeting: Networking of Sensor Systems.
The NSF recently issued a new solicitation 04-540 on Research in Networking Technology and Systems. One of the focus areas in this solicitation is the Networking of Sensor Systems. This focus area is concerned with the design and development of protocols, operating systems, and network architectures and with building systems that facilitate constructing networks of sensor systems. The overall goal is to make it as easy to assemble a network of sensor systems in the next few years as it became in the 1980s to assemble a LAN of workstations using the BSD Unix protocol stack and socket interface and Ethernet line cards. This is a call for participation in a one-day informational meeting that will help potential proposers to get background information on the focus area and on the state of sensor systems research. The meeting has limited seating so please RSVP early.
Objective: The purpose of the informational meeting is to share with the community the goals and scope of the focus area.

[ PDF ] Mobile wireless clients have highly variable network connectivity and available bandwidth.
There are times when they may be completely disconnected from the larger Internet. This dynamism of connectivity poses unique constraints for the problem of information access in general, and Web access in particular. We examine the problem of improving the utility of information access applications for these imperfectly connected devices.

NSF Wireless & Mobile Communications Workshop - Report. NSF Wireless Networking Workshop.
Recently, a number of themes have converged to offer opportunities for significant advances in wireless networking. Some of these themes are: Developments in wireless theory and processing technology; Increasing user interest in mobile access to information; Requirements of national defense and homeland security; Re-examination of radio spectrum allocation policies; and Recognition that networking of wireless systems is integral to both improving mobile access and effectively using spectrum resources. The purpose of this National Science Foundation Wireless Networking Workshop is to explore the convergence of wireless networking, radio systems technology, and spectrum policy.
The workshop will address the following topics: The result of the workshop will be a report covering the topics considered and suggestions to The National Science Foundation. NSF Programmable Wireless Networking. Wireless NSF Test Pages.
