- | Placeholder for drone information. | + | ====== Drones ====== |
+ | With technology upgrades, uses for drones are being researched on a daily basis. At the University of Wisconsin-Madison, in particular, the WiNGS lab group, has been looking at utilizing the quick response times of drones in emergency situations to provide information to the emergency responders. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Initial Drone Work ===== | ||
+ | Initial work to test the fiesibility of working with wireless data connectivity technology, in this case WiMAX, the group worked to provide live streaming video from a drone in flight. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Here is a YouTube video of our live demo at the Global Environment for Network Innovation (GENI) Engineering Conference. | ||

+ | ===== Current Work ===== | ||
+ | We are in the process of expanding the WiMAX coverage around the greater Madison area. Initial propagation models have been created by Tony Kapella and a colleague of his to show the minimum signal strengths in and around the city. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Propagation Models ==== | ||
+ | Estimated coverage plot of 5NINES 5M network in the downtown Madison area. Speeds of 30 to 15 mbits should be possible in the green areas, orange should be ~14 to 8 mbits, and red areas will likely provide ~7 to 1 mbits | ||
