June 18, 1999 No Wires To Cross Some students at Massachusetts Institute of Technology are cutting loose from classes this summer by helping to install a wireless communications bridge between a high school network in Xi'an, China, and one at nearby Jiatong University. The project is just one of several IT undertakings planned by the 14 MIT students, who left for China earlier this month. An MIT student group did similar work in Shanghai during a 1997 visit. "The students have done a fantastic job," says Seth Jameson, the MIT-China program administrator, "not only by initiating and continuously developing the project, but also by finding imaginative ways to keep the sponsors interested." Companies supplying technology for the project have included Accton, Anixter, Cisco, Kodak, Microsoft, Proxim, Sun, and 3Com. --Ashlee Vance |
