Node on school Lucas van Leyden rebuilt

The Wireless Leiden node on the school Lucas van Leyden has been rebuilt by our volunteers. See some pictures of the process in our new photo album. This was not yet the last modification of this node. After a planned partial renovation of the school the node will likely be moved to a higher point.

Node at Heineken (Zoeterwoude)

Wireless Leiden has built a new node, in cooperation with its Zoeterwoude department, on one of the buildings on the site of the Heineken brewery in Zoeterwoude. Wireless Leiden thanks Heineken for her cooperation, that made it possible to buld this node.
The new node is a node with only interlinks to other nodes, and no local access point. At the moment there is an interlink to the former tax office in Leiden. There will also be interlinks with yet to be built new nodes in Zoeterwoude.

On two cold days in March 2013, March 28 and 29, a group of volunteers of Wireless Leiden has built a double node on the building in which the Leiden Visitor Centre and the "Kamer van Koophandel" (Chamber of Commerce) are located.
