Students in Rochester Build Metro Network
By Glenn Fleishman
*It’s not citywide yet, but it’s a great effort for an after-school
project:* The Rochester After School Academy (RASA) is building a
network with Wi-Fi nodes attached to 17 utility poles; the network could
expand to 35 in this early phase. The student-staffed Rochester Digital
Ripple will operate the network. The city of Rochester helped RASA
negotiate access to utility poles, and will donate 35 computers for use
at a community center.
The negotiations for these poles took—a year! Can I keep reiterating
that the hand that rocks the utility pole rocks the world? Yikes. The
efforts in this pilot project are part of the groundwork for plans for a
citywide network. [link via *Mike Thomas*]
