Athens, GA, The Cloud
Location: USA
Abstract:
One of the first such projects in the county, Athens's WAG Zone began, in 2002, as a build-your-own network across 24 blocks with 5 MBs of throughput. Built and managed by students at the University of Georgia, the network was humorously referred to not as a “state-of-the-art” network but as a “state-of-Wal-Mart” network. Gradually, the network was upgraded with BelAir Networks equipment to provide more reliability and durability and increase the footprint. Athens’s “Cloud” a portal, or capture page, is apparent to users when they enter the WAG Zone and log on. The portal is registered intellectual property for the University of Georgia that allows users to register and type in profile information about yourself and what you want to do in Athens. Moreover, it gave a community face to the infrastructure.
