| Abstract | The purpose of the Washington State Ferries (WSF) Wireless Connection Project (WCP) was “to provide passengers of the WSF system continuous high speed internet access at the dock and onboard ferries while en route to enhance the user experience. The objective of this report is to document the evaluations of the project and results of corrective actions and determine if the design, installation, and execution of WSF WCP succeeded in its purpose. The mobile wireless network was designed, installed, tested, and operated by Mobilisa, Inc. over the course of a 15 month period. Independent wireless network performance evaluations were conducted by Lockheed Martin Information Technology over several months to provide non-biased assessment and constructive criticism of the system. The results of these evaluations and corrective actions are included in this report’s appendices, as is a sample survey and business case analysis. /Abstract from report summary page/ |
