Georgia SMART

Our lab has worked closely with Four rural, underserved communties south of Atlanta researching and studying their Wireless ISP (WISP) deployments. These communities - Concord, Woodbury, Spalding, and Pike - have had to resort to creating their own internet service provider to provide last-mile connectivity to their residents due to big telecom companies not seeing them as a profitable venture. We created a Dashboard and testing system with Raspbery Pis to visualize performance across their networks to better inform expansion efforts.
