| Established in 2002, the [[http://www.wirelessleiden.nl/|Wireless Leiden]] Foundation has created an open, inexpensive, fast wireless network for the City of Leiden and the surrounding region. This is a local network, that integrates seamlessly with the Internet, but can also be used for free, local communication. Also ambulant users and visitors or tourists can use the network, no registration is required. Wireless Leiden is a non-profit organization, operated entirely by professional volunteers, creating and maintaining the wireless infrastructure. All the software, technological and organisational knowledge is freely available to others under an 'open source' license. We feel that being a non-profit organization is essential for the success of the project and for minimizing the costs. We do not build isolated “hot spots”, we erect nodes that are the access points for the users in the area around the node. These nodes are interconnected forming a wireless backbone. This network structure enables easy network monitoring and maintenance. Moreover not every node needs a local internetconnection, a limited number of gateways is sufficient. | Here's the logo of the v7 edition: |
