Wireless Thessaloniki is an experimental wireless community network growing in the air of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is one of the first wireless networks deployed in the city. It was founded by ''Konstantinos Natsakis'' and ''Athanasios Kanaris'' on November, 2002. The primary goals of this project was twofold: *Development of a floppy linux distribution that would provide encryption better than WEP *Construction of low-cost antennas and routers based on old PCs, placed in water resist boxes in order to be placed on rooftops The linux floppy distribution formed, named Paladir, was named after the ''palantíri'' in J. R. R. Tolkien's ''The Lord of the Rings'', as it provided ''insight'' to other wireless routers running Paladir. The first wireless link, connecting two points with distance of ''4.5 km'', was achieved on March 1st, 2003, in 11 Mbit/s. Since then, the ''wthess network'' counts more than 20 nodes sparged on rooftops of the city. It is connected with TWMN and SWN to provide connectivity with other community networks, and it is also connected through wired network with AWMN and other wireless communities in Greece. == See also == * Athens Wireless Metropolitan Network * Heraklion Student Wireless Network * Patras Wireless Network * Thessaloniki Wireless Metropolitan Network 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wireless Thessaloniki」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
