Sammanfattning Detta examensarbete har genomförts på företaget Axe'L Dataservice. Mitt uppdrag var att implementera ett trådlöst nätverk åt företaget GUNSHILL AB. GUNSHILL AB bedriver mjölk- och köttproduktion och använder ett robot-mjölksystem som heter Lely. Detta system styrs via applikationer som installeras i Android- eller iPhone-enheter. Det trådlösa nätverket hade som mål att täcka mjölkproduktions-anläggningen, på ungefär trehundrafemtio kvadratmeter totalt. I samband med analysen av det trådlösa nätverket, installerade vi ett övervakningssystem. Detta används framförallt som ett testverktyg för att övervaka accesspunkterna under implementeringen samt ge en inblick till företaget GUNSHILL AB om hur användbart och effektivt övervaknings-systemet är. Denna rapport redovisar processen för de genomförda implementeringarna samt beskriver en analys av IEEE 802.11n-teknologin i förhållande till Ubiquiti-utrustningen som används i detta projekt. Resultaten av detta examensarbete uppfyller de krav som företaget GUNSHILL AB hade ställt upp. Det implementerade trådlösa nätverket täcker trehundrafemtio kvadratmeter och levererar en Internet-hastighet upp till 6.4 Mbit/s, vilket motsvarar ungefär 90.6 % av den ursprungliga Internet-hastigheten som är 7 Mbit/s. / Abstract This thesis has been performed at the company Axe'L Data Service. My assignment was to implement a wireless network for the company GUNSHILL ​​AB. GUNSHILL ​​AB, works with milk- and meat production, and use a robotic milking system called Lely. This system is controlled through application software installed on Android or iPhone platforms, specifically mobile phones. The wireless network implemented at GUNSHILL AB, has about tree hundred fifty square meter Wi-Fi coverage. In addition to the wireless system, we deployed a monitoring system as a tool for measuring performance of the access points and monitoring them. This thesis summarizes and goes through the entire process of the wireless- and monitoring system deployment, and performs analysis of the IEEE 802.11n technology based on the technology primarily in Ubiquiti features for 802.11n devices. The conclusion of this thesis is that the project meets the requirements of GUNSHILL ​​AB as expected. The implemented wireless network system covers three hundred fifty square meters and delivers a wireless Internet connection with a speed of 6.4 Mbit/s, which resembles, approximately 90.6 % of the initial speed provided by the ISP (7 Mbit/s).

Until recently, most studies investigating the telecommunication reforms performance fail to incorporate the importance of institutions into the empirical analysis. This study highlights the importance of institutional governance on telecommunications efficiency and provides empirical results for the impact of institutions on reform outcomes. It provides significant evidence that the institutional environment in which reform progress takes place is an important determinant for successful reform. This study uses stochastic distance function approach to capture the role of institutions in explaining the efficiency differences across 70 countries. The empirical analysis reveals that policy stability in the form of substantive checks and balances on executive power is the most important aspect for successful reform. Independently, legal integrity improves telecommunications efficiency through privatization, while greater freedom from corruption influences the effectiveness of a regulatory body.
