Academic Writing

Need the following assignment ( word count 900) to be done before 28 May 2014. Academic paper entitled ‘Self-Sustainable Energy Efficient Long Range WiFi Network for Rural Communities’ (Ab-Hamid et al., 2011), part of which is reproduced in Appendix A. The article itself is too technical for general readership, but the ideas are of interest to supporters. Read the extract in Appendix A and prepare a short article for the supporters’ magazine entitled ‘Bridging the digital divide in rural Central Asia’ covering the following aspects: (i) Introduction (ii) An explanation of what is meant by the terms IEEE802.11, WiFi and WiMax. (iii) An illustration of the differences in the digital divide and energy use in Malaysia and Nepal using information obtained from the WolframAlpha website (see Activity 34 in Block 6 Part 1 for more on WolframAlpha). Complete and include Table 1 (below) as part of your answer. Table 1: comparison of aspects of digital divide in Nepal and Malaysia Statistic Nepal Malaysia Population Percentage of population using the internet Number of languages spoken by at least 1% of the population Electricity generated per year Electricity generated per year through solar, tide or wave (iv) A discussion of the barriers to bridging the digital divide that exist in Malaysia compared to Nepal. Use your completed table above and the Appendix A excerpt as your main non-TU100 sources for this task. (v) An explanation of why powering a long range WiFi network, in the remote rural area around Bario, using energy harvesting, might be cost effective. Include any advantages and problems associated with using solar power for this, and briefly discuss one other potentially suitable energy harvesting method. (vi) Conclusion Your answer to Task 1 must be no more than 900 words in total, with around 150 words for part (ii), 250 words for part (iv) and 300 words for part (v).
