1. Project WIN : WIRELESS INTRANET Daniel Gardner, Jeeth Suresh, and Asavari Tayal

2. ABOUT 60% OF THE HUMAN RACE DOES NOT HAVE INTERNET There’s no infrastructure Communication infrastructure isn’t justified for communities without a significant economy Data plans are expensive Data plans cost over $50/month in remote areas, if even offered WiFi devices are useless WiFi-enabled devices, donated through organizations such as One Laptop Per Child, are relatively useless without a wireless network

3. OUR SOLUTION: A WiFi-BASED INTRANET Apps are independent from the internet Sustainability is a necessity Hotspots will allow for access within 800 feet Our goal is an educational network Not limited by electricity infrastructure, battery- powered at night for constant connection Solar-powered Central server will host educational programs for download as well as materials such as Wikipedia, Project Gutenberg, and others Hosted education Store 16GB of resources and link into the network via WiFi, eliminating the need for the global internet to access resources Node hotspots Nodes will provide instant messaging, e-mail, and a simple forum for quick internal communication Hosted web apps Central connection to cellular network

4. +1.7% Increase in exports (10% adoption) $3,703 Average GDP of developing nations +1.1% Increase in imports (10% adoption) Sources: Brookings, UNCTAD

5. $227 BILLION Projected increase in the world economy following a 10% increase in third-world internet access

6. Raspberry Pi WiFi Module SD Card Interface Microcontroller WiFi Card Hard Drive Interface Solar Panel & Battery NODE SERVER Cellular Antenna

7. REQUIREMENTS & VERIFICATION Power Nodes must be able to provide at least 300mA at 3.3V constantly on 10 hours of direct sunlight per day Integration Microcontroller must be able to pass SD card data through the UART to the ESP module at 4.5Mbps without any other limiting factors Uptime The network must be self-healing, properly adapting to a node failing. Nodes must gracefully find a new path on which to send data to the required node in less than five seconds (the total time spent finding a new path is < 5s) Durability Nodes must be able to withstand torrential downpour and a 3m drop Networking Packets must traverse the network through nodes at a rate of no less than 100kbps Affordability The price must be affordable for a low-income family - no more than $20USD/node and no more than $100USD/server

8. OUR ETHICAL MISSION Mental Health concerns with any kind of communication tool Piracy is a huge concern as the network is decentralized
