About the WNDW project

Wireless networks can cross wide distances, bringing digital communications to places where it is not practical to run wire or fiber optic lines. These networks can provide access to medical and government services, provide voice communications, and allow people in remote places to access the global Internet.

Our goal is to help you get the resources you need to build a wireless network that solves your communication problems.
