Wi-Fi Booster - Evaluation
4. Evaluation However, there are drawbacks when implementing the Si-Fi application into the SIT campus. The app requires a minimum number of users to boost the range of the Wi-Fi signal. During the early stages of implementing the app, it may not be able to achieve its intended purpose as some of the features such as mobile mesh networking may not be fully utilized. This is because the campus is spread around Singapore and therefore the individual campus may not have sufficient users to extend the signal range. Additionally, the network coverage will be impacted by the distance between users, i.e., if the users are situated within near range, the mobile mesh network would not be as effective as users who are further and wider in distance. However, in time to come, when the campus is centralized in Punggol, it will lead to more Wi-Fi access points being available and spread across the campus, ultimately resulting in broader Wi-Fi coverage. Another issue is that there would
