friends
I was just thinking about how to setup an 802.11 bgn network for a school and the neighboring community in rural/remote areas...
here is what I would like to see....
- $100 solar powered wifi access points with hotspot capability - web based authentication
- $20 normally powered access points - where stable electricity is available
I am guessing that for about $500-$1000 we could make a 1-2km school wifi zone thus enabling a move to the next stage of blended learning where students and the community could access digital materials 24/7 no need for internet but that surely would be nice...
Does anyone have experience with ideas such as this? do you know experienced wifi router hackers that could do an open source project to develop wifi router packages for the future?
Cheers
Tim
