Research abstract
Many rural areas and related small communities are on the lower side of a digital divide that separates areas with and without the telecommunications infrastructure necessary to compete in today's global economy. This project will deploy a partial broadband wireless network in Rusk County, Wisconsin to demonstrate the efficacy of such a system in a low density, low income county in Northern Wisconsin.
