Description:

The massive popularity of wireless networking has caused equipment costs to continually plummet, while equipment capabilities continue to increase. By applying this technology in areas that are badly in need of critical communications infrastructure, more people can be brought online than ever before, in less time, for very little cost. We hope to not only convince you that this is possible, but also show how we have made such networks work, and to give you the information and tools you need to start a network project in your local community.

This book was created by a team of individuals who each, in their own field, are actively participating in the ever-expanding Internet by pushing its reach farther than ever before. This book documents our efforts to build wireless networks in the developing world.

I purchased a paper copy of this book several months ago after perusing the electronic versions at www.wndw.net. The ordering process was simple, the price was right, and the delivery was quick.

After spending several hours during my light-rail commute poring over the material and making copious notes, I've found that the book is truly excellent with very few mistakes. There are spelling/grammar goofs here and there, and one or two factual mistakes, but all in all this is a must-read for anyone who's interested in community wireless networks, or wireless networking in relatively undeveloped areas.
