Digital Wifi Canopy
Team 312
Digital Wi-Fi Canopy is a solar-powered umbrella placed at bus stops and parks, with USB charging ports and Wi-Fi capability. The area of focus for this project is the Providence neighborhood in Tallahassee, FL. The purpose of this project was to bridge the digital gap in areas that lack internet accessibility. The main requirements for this design are that it is solar-powered, Wi-Fi capable, weather resistant, low maintenance, and accessible. Possible markets for this project are transportation companies, park management, and local governments.

Future Work
Future work can include building and testing a fully functional structure and possible upgrades. The building will involve making the structure and adjusting the circuit to fit the full-size umbrella. More research is needed on the materials or adjustments that can be used to improve the umbrella structure. Testing will include looking at the average charge rate during different climate conditions and structural integrity after climate events. Possible upgrades to the canopy could be changing the repeater to a mesh network or amenities such as fans, lights, heaters, or a display for bus timings.
