Hack Nights - Wireless Bandits Set Up Free WiFi in Public Places
[Edit]
[Edit]
A group of hackers, known as Wireless Toronto, is setting up free WiFi throughout the city. Specifically, the group is setting up wireless access in public places during what they call, “Hack Nights”. During the Hack Nights, the group gets together to build wireless equipment all with the good cause in mind.
We’re building a wifi backpack, which we’ve affectionately called the WiFi Roach Coach (long story). It’ll be a battery-powered WRT54GL and Rogers/Bell/Inukshuk pre-WiMax modem providing connectivity. (It’s a NextNet Expedience RSU-2510-AV.) This’ll allow us to set up an instant Wireless Toronto hotspot anyplace where we can get a (pre-)WiMax signal. It’ll be especially useful to provide wifi coverage at events.
