Metropolitan Wi-Fi Research Network at the Los Angeles State Historic Park

The Center for Research in Engineering, Media and Performance (REMAP) at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), has collaborated with the NSF Center for Embedded Networked Sensing (CENS) to deploy a metropolitan scale Wi-Fi mesh network in the Los Angeles State Historic Park near Downtown Los Angeles. We refer to this network as Met-Wi. This will be an extension of the University’s network into the communities around the park and will support research in community based urban participatory sensing [1], [2], [3], [4] through CENS and Cultural Civic Computing through REMAP.
