The Case for this module involves a tragedy and a potential silver lining. The devastation from disasters in Haiti and New Orleans needs no elaboration here; you all saw the pictures. What is interesting is a piece of the technological aftermath\u2014the use of wireless networks. Here are stories describing the situation:<\/p>\n

You are strongly encouraged also to do further research using search tools in this area, since this is a breaking story, and by the time you get around to doing this module, odds are that the situation will have changed again; you don’t want to look silly by presenting information that is now been rendered obsolete by breaking events. The underlying issues of course remain salient. (Note: Katrina and the Haiti earthquakes are no longer “breaking stories”)<\/p>\n When you have reviewed these materials and done your own research (please be sure to use appropriate citations for any material that you collect on their own), please write a short (5-7 page) paper addressing the question:<\/p>\n Deploying a Wi-Fi hook-ups in disaster relief\u2014<\/strong><\/em>what are the considerations?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n In preparing your answer, you might want to consider the following questions:<\/p>\n Length:<\/strong> Follow the number of pages required in the assignment excluding cover page and references.
