Active Antenna.jpg

Location and Intended Users

Users of XOs, inside and outside of school.

Motivation

  • Better connectivity will generate more use for the XO outside of school
  • This particular antenna can extends the range of the mesh thus extending wireless connectivity for everyone in range, not just for the XO plugged into it.
  • The mesh network seem to have limited signal within about 100m between two laptops

Advantages

  • Extends wireless connectivity for multiply users
  • Is a self contained unit which can operate without a laptop, all it needs is a USB power supply which could be solar driven for example.

Disadvantages
