	Bristol Wirless: Starting a community wireless network project
		When the project started in June, Easton Community Centre had already acquired a 2Mbs ADSL line and the aim was to prove that a portion of this connection could be successfully shared between a number of local residents or community groups by using wireless technology.
		The community centre acted as the first main node in what, theoretically, would eventually be a large, high-speed ring forming the backbone of the network, not only in the local area, but potentially throughout the city of Bristol; each main node in the network being connected to it's adjacent main nodes in a ring.
		One idea for a larger scale network would be to establish a ring of central nodes that are interconnected to each other, via the use of wireless networking, but at a higher capacity than that of the connections between the central and client nodes.

	Free Community Nets Sprouting Up - 3/18/2002 - Wireless Week - CA201269 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		While the group's strategy reflects its views on the nature of community and the value of connectivity in their city, the phenomenon of community networks that provide free services to users is one of the surprising outgrowths of the popular IEEE 802.11b standard.
		Community networks, which are sprouting up around the country in a grassroots movement, are one of the most creative and interesting phenomena to emerge with the popularization of the technology.
		At a recent conference for community wireless advocates in Seattle, attendees themselves tried to come up with a definition for "free." "The closest thing we could come up with was, if you deploy a network for city so-and-so, anybody who connects to it can connect to anybody else on the network for free," Pozar says.

		Building Wireless Community Networks offers a compelling case for building wireless networks on a local level: They are inexpensive, and they can be implemented and managed by the community using them, whether it's a school, a neighborhood, or a small business.
		Wireless networking protocols are complicated, but IEEE 802.11b and the products that have sprung up around it (like Apple's AirPort and similar offerings from Lucent Technologies and Cisco Systems) are pretty easy to set up and integrate into a network.
		For those who are unfamiliar with wireless networking, or those who are relatively new to it, this is a good introduction to the technology.

	Community Wireless :: Your community; Online and Wirefree
		Using 'off the shelf' and license-free Wireless LAN technology (802.11) various groups and individuals are embracing bandwidth and content, and sharing it with their community.
		Line-of-Sight communication is difficult to implement in an urban environment as the considerations are extensive.
		In a wireless network where all receivers have their gain boosted, the net effect is almost as good as using a pre-amp and there is none of the associated cross interference.

		Wireless community networks are the largely hobbyist-led development of interlinked computer networks using wireless LAN technologies, taking advantage of the recent development of cheap, standardised 802.11b[?] devices to build growing clusters of linked, citywide networks.
		The key to using standard wireless networking devices designed for short-range use for multi-kilometre linkups is the use of high-gain antennas.
		Most wireless community network projects are coordinated by citywide user groups who freely share information and help using the Internet.

	Azulstar, Cisco, IBM Chosen for Winston-Salem, N.C., Community Wireless Network
		The WinstonNet Wireless Initiative committee today announced that a collaboration of Azulstar Networks, Cisco Systems and IBM was selected to build and operate the community wireless network, “Wireless Winston”, that will span the City of Winston-Salem and eventually to the outlying communities in Forsyth County.
		The Wireless Winston project plan is to offer Wi-Fi broadband Internet access to the more than 225,000 area residents, employees and visitors and is expected to eventually span all of Forsyth County.
		Building a connected community is the shared vision of its members with a strong emphasis placed on digital inclusion for all citizens of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County.

		And that while the portal was essentially 'a single system' that the point-of-entry would vary depending on the node used to access the network.
		For example, if something similar to the DDN website were used as the network-wide portal, if an organization on the system had a wifi access point, then we would configure each access point to point to the DDN profile or blog of its organization.
		Essentially the Community Network becomes an application service provider for the organizations that are participating.

		Wireless technologies, and 802.11b in particular, are making it easier and cheaper to connect large numbers of people through over-the-air networks.
		If you want to build a Community Wireless Network and offer network services to a group of people (or even the public at large), you'll have to address the issue of who is responsible for traffic entering the Internet.
		While some public-node operators are perfectly happy opening their networks to whomever happens to be in range, many of us hesitate at the thought of paying for our neighbors to use our bandwidth.

	wireless network - Wireless - Dell Community Forum
		After spending hours with a very patient and seemingly competent Dell wireless technician, the technician finally concluded that my only solution was to buy a second router and bridge the network.
		As an alternative wireless product, you could buy a wireless to ethernet bridge and set it on the desk (near where the laptop works), and then connect it to the desktop via ethernet cable.
		I think a wireless repeater of some kind would probably work fine and might be much easier on you, but there are few negatives to hard-wiring a desktop -- minus the pain of actually doing it.

		The community in the article is still getting net access through a DSL modem, so they are still beholden to the Telco powers-that-be.
		If enough communities were to start up projects like this, and link together using their own methods, then a new form of Internet could take shape independent of the Telcos.
		I have checked on various community wireless network projects now and again and almost every one of them is associated with cities (clear LOS from rooftop to rooftop) and few tall trees.

	About the Dharamsala Wireless-Mesh Community Network \| Tibetan Technology Center
		Extensive tests during February showed that the hard mountainous terrain is most suitable for Mesh networking, as conventional point-to-multipoint networks, cannot overcome the line-of sight limitations presented by the mountains.
		The Mesh network is based on recurring deployments of a hardware device, which is designed, and build locally, known as the Himalayan-Mesh-Router.
		Solar power in combination with small antennas, suggest that such a network is ideal for disaster areas, as it very likely to survive when all other communication infrastructure is damaged.
