Wireless Networking for the Developing World

http://wndw.net/

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.
The book

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. Over a period of a few 
months, we have produced a complete book that documents our efforts to 
build wireless networks in the developing world.

We hope that you find these materials and this website useful. Please 
feel free to contribute your own experiences on the wiki and mailing 
list, and help make the next edition even better.

You can download the book in PDF form as a single file (2.0 MB), or in 
chapters.

The printed book

You can order a printed and bound copy of the book from Lulu.com, a 
print-on-demand service. The PDF will be updated periodically, and 
ordering from the print-on-demand service ensures that you will always 
receive the latest revision.

Resources

There are currently several volunteer translation projects underway. 
Our readers have also contributed their own case studies and links to 
useful sites. Please feel free to submit your own resources and 
experiences on the wiki.
