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 acquired the COMblocks we needed to receive data from the cellular band. Initially, we are going to look at the 870-879MHz frequency range for Cingular. Later on, we will change COMblock setups so that we can receive data from the PCS band for Cingular and T-mobile.

· We're going to begin collecting data in the Wireless Research Laboratory. The COMblocks will be safe there. Later on, we may decide to go to other parts of the campus, including the library and a team member's dorm room to see the difference in signal strengths.

· We also discussed putting together a little report showing some data that we collect for our advisor, Prof. Tureli, to show to the US Army. By next week, we should have this report done.

· We also discussed further the interim progress report. We know what we want to include; now, we just have to put the pieces together.

· As per Prof. Mcnair's request we also decided on what we were going to need for Senior Design Day. We don't really need much but a power outlet and internet connection. On Senior Design Day, we plan to have both COMblock setups so that we can demonstrate how we can collect data and make the data significant to visitors.
