Villagers Develop Own Broadband
Posted: 24th Sep, 2003 By: MarkJ
A group of eleven disgruntled Northamptonshire villagers have clubbed together with satellite operator Aramiska to setup their own broadband wireless service for local residents:
The technology employed uses a wireless network with the signal hopping from building to building. This uses either small roof or loft space antenna and less than one seventeenth the power of a mobile phone.
The backhaul is provided by a two-way satellite link from Aramiska. The service will be available to businesses and residents in the area when it's launched next month.
Subscription to the service costs £27 a month although property owners who host a wireless node qualify for a discount.
Now that deserves a round of applause! More @ The Register.
