Abstract

We examine our remote lecture experiments using ATM and UNII wireless devices. We discussed which functions should be improved in the current distance-learning system. The Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure/Shared Unlicensed Personal Radio Network (UNII/SUPERNet) wireless devices are introduced for achieving economical distance-learning systems. Two experiments of remote lectures are detailed: a wireless experiment between two buildings in the Philippines and an ATM experiment between Japan and the United States
