Weekly status:

Include discussion of what you accomplished this week, who you contacted, what decisions were made, what obstacles were identified, how they are being addressed.

· This week we continued to take data with the com block 3005. We tried to take data in locations that previously weren't possible. We have figured out that in some areas at Stevens, the COM blocks don't pick up any signals. Places like the library, the Howe center, and the bowling alley don't pick up any signals. However, the wireless lab, Jacobus lounge, and the computer center do pick up signals.

· We still haven't been given the com block 3006 setup. It's being used by Winsec at the present time. The data taking is quick so we're not concerned about that. In the meantime, we're trying to look at some variations that we can come up with to make the project even more interesting.

· The website has been updated. Also, this week we've been looking into the Senior Design Day brochure and poster board. This upcoming week we will be completing both.

· This week we have to see if the COM blocks can pick up signals in the Schaefer Athletic Center. This will be a big part of our demonstration on Senior Design Day, so we're hoping this won't be a problem considering the fact that the Com blocks don't work everywhere on campus.

· An interesting thing to look at will be to see if the PCS com block works in areas that the Cellular com block doesn't.
