• Abstract:
  The purpose of the Wireless Connection Project was "to provide passengers if the WSF system continuous high-speed Internet access at the dock and onboard ferries wjile en route to enhance the user experience." The objective of this evaluation report was to determine if the proposed network design of the Washington State Ferries (WSF) Wireless Connection project meet these evaluation success criteria. Over the course of a 12-month period, wireless network performance evaluations were conducted on three separate ferry routes designated for the wireless pilot. Lockheed Martin Information Technology was selected to make a non-biased assessment of the proposed network design and installation completed by Mobilisa, Inc. This report details the evaluation criteria, testing procedures, and results of the evaluation. A sample survey and business case analysis also was performed by Lockheed Martin Information Technology to validate the Business Case Study submitted by Mobilis, Inc. The result are included in this report.
