No walk-in consultancy on Wednesday May 5, 2010

Because May 5, 2010 is a National Holiday in the Netherlands, the weekly walk-in consultancy wil not be held on that day!

Students make new "nodemap"

Four students at the Hogeschool Leiden have been working, as a project, under the guidance of one of our volunteers, at our new "nodemap", a map that shows all our nodes, with some details about these nodes. In follow-up projects the map will be extended and receive new functionality. The result so far can be seen on http://map.wirelessleiden.nl

Wireless Leiden start de "Operatie Breedband"!

We have been working at an upgrade of the Wireless Leiden network to the so-called IRIS-concept for some time now. In short this means that all hardware will be based on an embedded system (by Alix) and tat all interlinks (wireless interconnections between nodes) will be rebuilt according to the WiFi standard 802.11a, which has a higher frequency than the one being used now. There will be much less interference with home networks then. The performance of the nodes that have already been upgraded exceeds our expectations.
