Problem
The State of Dakota seeks to increase the investment of new business in the state by providing the best wireless communications environment in thecountry. Dakota has vast land areas suitable for high-tech business, but its limited communications infrastructure inhibits development. State planners realize that high-tech businesses depend on virtual teams supported by robust communications capabilities. The state recently issued a request for proposal (RFP) for the Dakota Wireless Network (DWN) with the following performance-based specifications:
Design, install, and maintain a digital communications network that will allow-(i) Cell phone services for all state residents and businesses from any habitable point within state borders. (ii) Wireless Internet connections for all state residents and businesses fromany habitable point within state borders with download speeds of at least 20 Mbps at all times.
