Implementación de red de Content Access Points en hardware de bajo costo para uso en entornos de educación

Abstract

This research work analyzes the design and implementation of a network of content access points (CAPs) in low-cost hardware, which allows to expand the coverage area and increases the number of devices that can be connected to it. There are currently several CAP models that have multimedia content which can be shared through a wireless network to the public. However, limitations usually appear in terms of the number of users and the coverage post, both used in isolation. For this work the CAP called Koombook is used, which was designed using a low-cost hardware by the organization “Libraries Without Borders” end is used to provide educational digital content in places that do not have access to Internet. Two network scenarios with CAPs were implemented, and the performance tests such as user capacity, CPU consumption, RAM consumption, transfer speed and coverage were performed. The CAPs network allows sharing files by acting as a digital library, helping students in educational institutions to improve their learning.
