WIFI

   The goal of this contest will be to achieve the greatest connect 
   distance between two 802.11b stations through innovative engineering 
   and antenna design.



HOW WIFI WORKS

   An Access Point (AP) is a wireless-enabled device that broadcasts a
   wireless signal.  Any other wireless-enabled device can receive an
   AP's signal and can transmit data to it once a connection has been
   established.  That connection stays established if the wireless signals 
   are in a specific range.

   For the Wifi Contest, the PAKCON Wifi staff will have an AP present
   at the Wifi contest location and will be broadcasting signals all the
   time. Teams will have to achieve the maximum connect distance with the
   WIfi Contest AP. Teams will have to bring their own wireless-enabled 
   equipments. The equipments can be anything from a laptop, PDA to a 
   WAP-enabled mobile phone, antennas to dishes. They will be free to 
   make any modifications and extensions to their equipments to boost 
   their equipments' wireless signals.



HOW TO WIN THE WIFI CONTEST

   A total of six (6) teams will participate in the Wifi Contest.
   Each team can have no more than four (4) members.  Teams can select
   any individual to be their member.  

   In a fixed time slot of either 30 minutes or 60 minutes, teams will
   have to establish the maximum connect distance between PAKCON Wifi
   Contest AP and their wireless device. At the end of the allotted
   time slot, the team with the greatest connect distance will win the
   contest.



RESTRICTIONS

   There are apparently no restrictions as to what piece of equipment
   teams can use.  Teams are free to choose whichever equipment for
   boosting their wireless signals.



REGISTRATION

   Like every other contest to be held at PAKCON II, registration
   for the Wifi Contest is on a first come first serve basis.  Only 
   six (6) teams will be selected and allowed to participate in the 
   Wifi Contest.  The teams can have anyone as their member, but the
