  1. TOWARDS A UBIQUITOUS CITY: WIFI SIGNAL SURVEY AND MAPPING FOR THE TOWN OF BLACKSBURG Renee LoSapio Urban Affairs and Planning In Collaboration with the Center for Geospatial Information Technology Virginia Tech, 2012

  2. Objective To better understand the wireless network connectivity throughout Blacksburg and the Virginia Tech Campus. Renee LoSapio Urban Affairs and Planning In Collaboration with the Center for Geospatial Information Technology Virginia Tech, 2012

  3. Relevance to Planning • Safety and emergency planning • Interaction with public space • Civic engagement • Communicating ideas Renee LoSapio Urban Affairs and Planning In Collaboration with the Center for Geospatial Information Technology Virginia Tech, 2012

  4. Data and Devices • Information Recorded: scan ID, scan subID, date/time, XY location, MACaddress, SSID, security, signal strength, and radio frequency • Device: Samsung Dart Android & Kindle Fire Renee LoSapio Urban Affairs and Planning In Collaboration with the Center for Geospatial Information Technology Virginia Tech, 2012

  5. Scanner Settings Wi-Fi Scanner application developed by CGIT • WiFi Access • Dual Scan Mode • Zoom Features • Manual Pin-Point location • Points cataloged on device Renee LoSapio Urban Affairs and Planning In Collaboration with the Center for Geospatial Information Technology Virginia Tech, 2012

  6. Procedure • Scanned every 30 feet (10 strides) • 180 degree survey pivots • Data converted to shape file then filtered by various attributes IDW interpolation: • cell size=1 ft • power of 2 • fixed radius of 20 ft Renee LoSapio Urban Affairs and Planning In Collaboration with the Center for Geospatial Information Technology Virginia Tech, 2012
