BROADBAND NETWORKS
• Mobile Telephony Networks (3G/GPRS) • 802.16 Networks (WiMAX)
Operates through special antennas• Suggested Solution by the E.U. for για rural and underpopulated areas• Wider Coverage than WiFi• Appropriate for connecting buildings and mobile users
• 802.11 Networks (Wi-Fi)User networking and Internet connection through antennas. The signal is broadcasted from
base stations (Access Point [AP]).
• Satellite connection (Hellas SAT)
wireless
wired• xDSL Lines ( aDSL , sDSL)• Optical Fibres
Why such a fuss about optical fibres?
If 64kbps correspond (copper capacity) to 1 lane
an optical fibre corresponds to 25 million traffic lanes, or a street 90.000 km wide.
An idea is conceived by the scientific groups of the Municipality of Trikala.

…however in the Fall of 2005 a concern arises
Greece is way back in terms of infrastructures
Citizens are not adequately informed on new technology issues
Then an idea is born concerning the design and development of a WiFi wireless network within the city which will:
provide FREE internet Access to all citizensWill be safe by blocking webpages relevant to:
Illegal downloading of music and moviesPornographic content
…does Wi-Fi threat our health?
The answer is no1. Broadcasting Power 0,1 W
2. The National National Regulatory Authority for Telecommunications
does not require a broadcasting permit if the latter’s power is under 10
Watt
3. Collaboration of e-trikala with the radiance measurement programmes
