Getting closer to the Smart City

Long - Range wireless tech

Why (now) ?

TELCOs are already working towards providing this as a proprietary/restricted service in 5G (imminent in 2020).

We (the users) have the means, know-how and expertise today to create our own infrastructure.

Experience from successful projects (community wireless broadband, e.g. AWMN, Sarantaporo.gr).
