Hi! Forwarding. Musti does really great things and is searching for some guidance about possible grants he could apply to to continue with development.
Mitar ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Musti <[email protected]> Date: Thu, Jul 11, 2013 at 2:27 AM Subject: KORUZA for organic growth of wireless optical networks To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Dear all, I am happy to introduce the development of a wireless optical network system KORUZA. KORUZA is an innovative open-source open-hardware wireless communication system, employing a new low-cost approach to designing free-space optical network systems, enabling building-to-building connectivity with a highly collimated light beam at a capacity of 1 Gbps (1000 Mbps) at distances up to 100 m. It is designed to be suitable for home as well as professional users, enabling organic bottom-up growth of networks by eliminating the need for wired fiber connections and associated high installation costs. The simplicity of use, low-cost and compact size allow the system to be deployed in any network. Feel free to see a more detailed description of the project with nice diagrams at: http://koruza.net As well as some details about the current state of the prototype system: http://koruza.net/Prototype I have written a scientific paper on the topic: Reintroducing Free-Space Optical Technology to Community Wireless Networks, which is available on (unfortunately behind a paywall): http://aisel.aisnet.org/amcis2013/ISUsage/RoundTablePresentations/3/ The paper will hopefully be presented to wider audience on AMCIS2013 conference in Chicago this August, but am at the moment lacking sufficient travel funding to attending it. You are most kindly invited to forward the project to any organisation that would be able to support me. KORUZA is under active development, but at the moment with my personal resources in Slovenia. The next months are going to be dedicated to evolve the prototype into a product suitable for the everyone to use and I am looking forward to presenting it in Berlin in October, hopefully along with a crowd-funding campaign for the first series. A lot of work, time and resources are required for the project to grow up sufficiently to support itself. I am appealing to you for help in obtaining a grant, by puting me in touch with suitable organisations or individuals, that will enable the project to continue and meet the above described goals.
