The goals and objectives of this radio project were to upgrade the existing LAN network via wireless bridge, antennae, and radio packet, converting the network into an airLan. The equipment has been installed and the software updated. The system is working extremely well. Results have exceeded our expectations. Since the installation of the radio towers, patron usage on the network at the public library has increased.
Patrons are happy with being able to get print copies of articles they research.
Word is spreading throughout the community that the CD-ROM databases are finally truly functioning as patrons wanted them to. The unanticipated benefit from the airLan is the increased speed at which data is now being transferred. And, the system has not malfunctioned since it was installed. The airLan bridge and antennae as set forth in the CATI grant were installed at the Craig-Moffat County Library and Moffat County High School library. The antenna and its installation at CNCC were paid for by the college with college funds.
