Abstract : A significant challenge during disasters is the breakdown of traditional communication systems, impeding rescue operations and information dissemination. To tackle this issue, researchers conducted a study on strategically deploying DuckLink wireless devices within a small community, particularly at NEUST Sumacab Campus. Utilizing tools like Google Maps, Google Earth, and WiFi Heat Map, optimal locations for device placement were identified. Analyzing signal range and performance characteristics, the study endeavored to enhance disaster management capabilities on campus. Findings revealed DuckLink devices operate with omnidirectional polarity, ensuring reliable communication, with a clear correlation between distance and message transmission time emphasizing strategic device placement for efficient campus-wide connectivity. Recommending the installation of 112 devices across 79 buildings, with key locations designated for Papaduck receivers and Mamaduck transmitters, this research offers crucial insights into disaster management strategies, optimizing wireless communication infrastructure in educational environments, thus contributing to safer and more resilient communities.

Keywords : Ducklink Wireless Devices, Disasters, Disaster Management, Communication Systems, Strategical Deploymen.
