Professor YoungJoon Byun of the CSIT department had a surprisingly fun summer. YoungJoon went to the Yellow Stone National Park for the first time, and he realized there was so much more to Idaho than the delicious potatoes it’s famous for. While amazed by Idaho’s natural beauty, YoungJoon drove there from California to work on a project known as the “CPUC Project”.
CSUMB is overseeing the development of an integrated tool using several open source network testing tools such as NDT, iPerf, and ping. YoungJoon and his teammates are developing the tool for Android-based smartphones and Windows-based laptops. Initially, they plan to use the tool to measure the coverage of 4 major service providers (Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, and T-Mobile) in California. Eventually, the goal is to make their tool available to the public so that the users in California can do independent testing of their provider network and upload their results to a central database. The database will provide information about each provider and display the results so that people will be able to see what the actual coverage is for that provider. This project is sponsored by the CPUC (California Public Utilities Commission) and thus is known as the “CPUC Project”.
If you’re interested and wanna find out more about the project, contact YoungJoon through email: ybyun@csumb.edu
