Muva nje i-Wireless Innovation for a Networked Society (WINS), ehlelwe ngabakwa I-Mozilla futhi exhaswe yiNational Science Foundation inikeze ucingo kuya ku unentshisekelo yokukwazi ukufaka isandla ezisombululweni ezintsha ukusiza xhuma abantu ku-inthanethi ezimeni ezinzima, kanye nemibono emihle ehlukanisa iwebhu.
Abahlanganyeli angase afanelekele imiklomelo yemali ehlukahlukene enikezwayo, nesamba semali engu-$2 million yemiklomelo evela ezinhlanganweni.
Umbono ongemuva kwayo yingoba i-Mozilla ikholelwa ukuthi i-inthanethi iyinsiza yomphakathi yomhlaba wonke okufanele ivuleke futhi ifinyeleleke kuwo wonke umuntu nokuthi iminyaka embalwa ibilokhu iyinsiza engatholakali kuwo wonke umuntu.
"Sinikela empilweni ye-inthanethi ngokusekela imibono emihle eyenza iwebhu ifinyeleleke, ihlukaniselwe ezindaweni, futhi iqine," kusho i-Mozilla.
Njengamanje, abantu abayizigidi ezingama-34 e-United States, noma u-10% wabantu bezwe, abakwazi ukufinyelela ekuxhumekeni kwe-inthanethi okuseqophelweni eliphezulu. Lesi sibalo sikhuphukela ku-39% emiphakathini yasemakhaya kanye nama-41% ezindaweni zaboHlanga. Futhi lapho kugadla izinhlekelele, izigidi ezengeziwe zabantu zingalahlekelwa ukuxhumana okubalulekile lapho zikudinga kakhulu.
Ukuze kuxhunywe abantu abangaxhumekile nabangaxhunyiwe e-United States, i-Mozilla yamukela izicelo namuhla ze-WINS (I-Wireless Innovation for a Networked Society). Ixhaswe yi-NSF, isamba semiklomelo eyizigidi ezimbili zamaRandi ayatholakala ngezixazululo ezingenantambo ezixhumanisa abantu ngemva kwezinhlekelele noma ezixhuma imiphakathi engenakho ukufinyelela ku-inthanethi okuthembekile. Lapho izinhlekelele ezinjengokuzamazama komhlaba noma iziphepho zigadla, amanethiwekhi okuxhumana aphakathi kwezingcezu zokuqala zengqalasizinda ebalulekile ukugcwala noma ukuhluleka.
Kushiwo lokho Abangenele inselelo kufanele bahlelele ukuminyana kwabasebenzisi abaningi, ububanzi obunwetshiwe kanye nomkhawulokudonsa oqinile. Amaphrojekthi kufanele futhi ahlose ukunyathela okuncane futhi agcine ubumfihlo nokuvikeleka komsebenzisi.
Mayelana nemiklomelo, lena iqashelwa ngezimpumelelo ezivelele ngesikhathi sesigaba sokuklama (Isigaba soku-1) se-Challenge futhi nazi eminye.
- Iphrojekthi Ye-Lantern | Indawo yokuqala ($60,000)
I-flashlight iyidivayisi elingana nokhiye esingethe izinhlelo zokusebenza zewebhu ezihlukanisiwe ezinamamephu endawo, izindawo zokunikezela, nokuningi. Lezi zinhlelo zokusebenza zisakazwa kumalambu ngomsakazo webanga elide kanye ne-Wi-Fi, bese zigcinwa zingaxhunyiwe ku-inthanethi kuziphequluli ukuze ziqhubeke zisetshenziswa. Amathoshi angasatshalaliswa ngezinsizakalo zokusabela ezimeni eziphuthumayo futhi angafinyelelwa izakhamizi ngenethiwekhi ye-Wi-Fi ekhethekile esekelwa yithoshi.
- UHERMES | Indawo yesibili ($40,000)
I-HERMES (I-High Frequency Emergency kanye ne-Rural Multimedia Exchange System) ingqalasizinda yenethiwekhi ezimele. Ivumela izingcingo zendawo, i-SMS kanye nesisekelo semiyalezo ye-OTT, konke ngemishini elingana kumapotimende amabili, kusetshenziswa i-GSM, i-Software Defined Radio kanye nobuchwepheshe bomsakazo wamafrikhwensi aphezulu.
- I-LTE Ephuthumayo | Indawo yesithathu ($30,000)
I-Emergency LTE iwumthombo ovulekile, isiteshi seselula esisebenza ngebhethri esisebenza ngebhethri esisebenza njengenethiwekhi ye-LTE ezimele yodwa. Iyunithi, enesisindo esingaphansi kwamaphawundi angu-50, ineseva yewebhu yendawo kanye nezinhlelo zokusebenza ezingasakaza imilayezo ephuthumayo, amamephu, imilayezo nokunye okwengeziwe.
Le phrojekthi inikeza inethiwekhi esebenza ngaso sonke isikhathinoma, nanoma wonke amanye amasistimu awaxhunyiwe ku-inthanethi. Idivayisi ye-goTenna Mesh ivula uxhumo isebenzisa amabhendi omsakazo we-ISM, bese ibhanqa namafoni e-Android ne-iOS ukuze inikeze izinsiza zemilayezo nezamamephu, kanye nokuxhumana kwe-backlink uma kutholakala. - GWN | Inkulumo Ehloniphekile ($10,000)
I-GWN (Inethiwekhi Engenantambo Engenantambo) isebenzisa amabhendi omsakazo we-ISM, amamojula e-Wi-Fi, nezimpondo ukuze zinikeze ukuxhumana. Uma abasebenzisi baxhuma kulawa ma-node wamaphawundi angu-10 aqinile, bangathola izindawo zokukhosela eziseduze noma bazise abatakuli. - Umoya usebenzisa i-Bluetooth, i-Wi-Fi Direct, namanodi engqalasizinda aphathekayo akhiwe ngamarutha ajwayelekile ukuze kwakhe inethiwekhi yontanga kuya kontanga. Iphrojekthi futhi ine-software ehlukaniselwe amandla kanye nohlelo lokusabalalisa okuqukethwe.
- Amaseli Aphathekayo Initiative | Inkulumo Ehloniphekile ($10,000)
Le phrojekthi ithumela i-'microcell', noma umbhoshongo wamaseli wesikhashana, ngemva kwenhlekelele. Iphrojekthi isebenzisa umsakazo ochaziwe wesofthiwe (SDR) nemodemu yesathelayithi ukuze unike amandla amakholi wezwi, i-SMS namasevisi edatha. Iphinde ivumele ukuxhumana nama-microcell angomakhelwane. Umholi wephrojekthi: u-Arpad Kovesdy eLos Angeles. - I-Othernet Relief Ecosystem | Inkulumo Ehloniphekile ($10,000)
I-Othernet Relief Ecosystem (ORE) iyisandiso sesikhungo se-Dhruv's Othernet e-Brooklyn, NY. Lokhu kufakwa kuvela esikweni elide lenethiwekhi ye-mesh lapho i-firmware ye-OpenWRT kanye nephrothokholi ye-BATMAN isebenza ku-Ubiquiti hardware ukuze kwakhe amanethiwekhi endawo amakhulu. Isiqhingi ngasinye sokuxhumana singaxhunywa kwezinye kusetshenziswa ama-antenna e-point-to-point. Isethi yezinhlelo zokusebenza ezingasindi zingaphila kulawa manethiwekhi. Umholi wephrojekthi: Dhruv Mehrotra eNew York. - I-RAVE - Inkulumo Ehloniphekile ($ 10,000)
I-RAVE (Radio-Aware Voice Engine). i-push-to-talk uhlelo lokusebenza lweselula oluvumela ukuxhumana komsindo okuthembekile okuphezulu ngoxhumo lwe-Bluetooth noma lwe-Wi-Fi kusuka kontanga kuye kontanga. Amadivayisi amaningi e-RAVE akha inethiwekhi ye-multi-hop ekwazi ukunweba ukuxhumana phakathi kwamabanga amade. Ukufinyelela kwe-RAVE kunganwetshwa ngenethiwekhi yamanodi okudlulisa. Lawa madivayisi abiza kancane, anamandla ebhethri asetha ngokuzenzakalela inethiwekhi yemeshi enweba i-inthanethi yesikhathi sangempela nokufinyelela kwezwi kumphakathi wonke nokuxhumana okusekelwe embhalweni okuqhele ngamamayela. Iphrojekthi ngaphandle kwesihlalo sobukhosi eWashington. Abawine Imiklomelo emikhulu ye
