Wireless network infrastructure can be built for very little cost compared to traditional wired alternatives.  But building wireless networks is only partly about saving money.  By providing people in your local community with cheaper and easier access to information, they will directly benefit from all that the Internet has to offer.  The time and effort saved by having access to the global network of information translates into wealth on a local scale, as more work can be done in less time and with less effort.

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. Download the PDF for free from http://wndw.net/
