802.11g WLANs Design for Rural Environments Video-surveillance

There is a lot of literature where researches show the best way to develop WLANs inside buildings. Their approaches try to provide large coverage and high performance taking into account wall looses and other issues. WLAN outdoor deployments are usually used to provide Internet access for citizens. In this article we show all parameters taken into account and the measurements taken to develop a new type of WLANs: WLAN for rural environments video-surveillance. These types of wireless networks are usually covered by other wireless frequencies, not by 802.11g. First we will start from the election of the MPEG-4 codec that will be used for transmission. It will be chosen as a function of the devices used in the deployment. Second, we will show the issues of a rural environment design and the wireless coverage area mathematical design. We will take into account signal looses given in rural environments. Finally we will show the number of octets per second, the number of messages per second and the network utilization in % measured from a public natural park deployment
