Wireless@ICTP | Aeronomy and RadioPropagation Laboratory

Welcome

This is the webpage of the RadioCommunications Unit of the ARPL . Our activities are in the field of ICT Wireless solutions for Developing Countries. We organize training activities, manage projects and carry out research to find the best solutions to bridge the digital divide. Since 2011 training activities will be done in collaboration with the International Telecommunication Union/Bureau of Development of...

Dissemination

Wireless Networking in the Developing World is a free book about designing, implementing, and maintaining low-cost wireless networks. The goal of the WNDW project is to help everyone get the resources they need to build wireless networks that solve real communication problems. In January 2006, the WNDW team released the first edition of Wireless Networking in the Developing World. Since then, the project has grown...

Activities

The core activities of our group are: Training Project management Dissemination Training: Since the initial efforts in 1995, the RadioCommunications Lab has held some 40 training activities attracting more than 1600 participants, from Africa, Asia, Oceania, Europe and Americas as well as from international organizations. Close collaboration with the International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication...

Research

Our main interest is in ICT4D: how to use Information and communication technologies to help development of academic networks. In particular, we have been working on Long Distance Wireless Links, Wireless Sensor Networks for Development and Low-cost solutions for wireless links setup. Long Distance Wireless Links: In collaboration with ESLARED (La Fundación Escuela Latinoamericana de Redes) in Venezuela, we...

Training

Since the initial efforts 17 years ago, our lab has held some 40 training activities attracting more than 1600 participants, from all over the world. Since 1995 we organized a number of activities at ICTP. These Schools are focused on innovative solutions in design and implementation of 2.4 GHz low-cost wireless local area networks (WLANs). Much of the school time is thus devoted to hands-on sessions on antenna...
