What is Community Wireless ?
Community Wireless is an umbrella organization - representing the needs of the emerging community networks
In short we represent a global dream... and it's out there. Happening. Right now.
Using 'off the shelf' and license-free Wireless LAN technology (802.11a.b.g) various groups and individuals are embracing bandwidth and content, and sharing it with their community.
- Neighbourhood Groups and Local high-speed P2P Networking
- Neighbourhood Watch/Surveillance using X10 devices
- Community game servers
- Connectivity to Rural/remote sites, previously limited by cables.
- High speed Video Conferencing
- High speed Mobile content
- Localised 'Open Access' TV and Radio stations (streaming audio/video)
The list goes on! It may seem like hot air, but it is very real.
It's the Organic Internet. The Internet re-born. The Internet the way it should be;
- Free from the restrictions of 'Corporate' thinking, and Revenue strategies.
- Free from 'profit over performance'.
- Run by the users, for the users.
And all it takes, is like-minded individuals and groups to open up their Network and spare bandwidth, to anyone and everyone.
