Volunteers rebuild Gulf Coast communications with wireless nets
By John Cox, Network World, 09/16/05
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, a volunteer group of network and
wireless experts has moved from outfitting small northeastern Louisiana
shelters with wirelessInternet access and VoIP phones to preparing a
desperately needed 45M bit/sec wireless pipe for the entire relief effort
indevastated Bay Saint Louis, Miss.
I've never witnessed destruction like this, says Paul Smith, technology
director with the Center for Neighborhood Technology , a Chicago
non-profit devoted to making cities more livable. He's one of scores of
network volunteers from all over thecountry who are creating one of the
few success stories to emerge from Katrina's demolition of the Gulf
Coast's technologyinfrastructure.
As of this week, the emergency management staff of this town of about
8,000 people, plus National Guardsmen; Red Cross workers;and local police,
fire and government are relying on a couple of satellite connections, each
supporting a 2M bit/sec downlinkand just a 512K bit/sec uplink. One of the
links had been set up at the Hancock County Medical Center by local U.S.
Navy staff.The second was at NASA's Stennis Space Center, where the
Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is based, coordinating all local,state
and federal relief efforts in the area.
