March 3, 2013 The Director Asbah Ishaq (11i-0065) THE SOLUTION TO THE WIFI PROBLEM IN THE CAMPUS

INTRODUCTION
Purpose
The report is written to discuss the problem of WIFI in the campus and to suggest its solution. Students and the faculty members are not satisfied with the WIFI of the campus. The WIFI facility should be improved to ensure the high standard of the university. The best option is recommended at the end after analyzing different WIFI companies.

Problem
The WIFI facility of the campus is not up to the mark and it should be improved. Discussion with the students and the teachers of FAST NUCES has revealed the following problems: Signals Range: The WIFI signals are not available or are very weak in the caf, in the lawn and many other places in the campus. Strength of the Signals: The signals are not so strong and there are only a few places where the signals have good strength. They are good in the CS lobby but are weak even in the GCR and in the classes. So connectivity problems are faced by the faculty members and the students. Download limit: The download limit is very low. Sometimes the students cant download some important things due to this limit.

CONCLUSION
All of the companies provide good service. They will provide the WIFI having the range of the whole campus. The difference exits in the speed and the experience of the company. Cybernet has the most experience and has won customer choice awards due to its good performance. Cybernet has strong competition with Go Wireless Pakistan in the aspect of experience. Another important thing is the speed. PTCL has the best speed but the speeds of Cybernet and Go Wireless Pakistan are also according to the need of the campus.

RECOMMENDTIONS
Cybernet and Go Pakistan Wireless have strong competition but Cybernet has won some awards which are its plus points. This reason is fully valid to select Cybernet. Go Pakistan Wireless is also acceptable but it must be second on the priority list.
