Wireless Networking Elsewhere

I would like to know if there are some projects about VoIP over mesh networks. Does CUWiN support Asterisk?

The WiLAC portal, the Latin American Networks School Foundation (EsLaRed), the Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC) and the Institute for the Connectivity of the Americas (ICA) announce a call for proposals to participate in the deployment and strengthening of community based wireless networks in Latin America and the Caribbean.

This project will facilitate the deployment of 15 wireless networks in rural and urban-marginal regions of Latin America and the Caribbean. The selection and administration of these pilot wireless networks will take place through an open and competitive process, where the wireless connectivity equipment will be given to local institutions that meet the established requirements. The new networks should offer information and communication services that reflect local interests at the community level. The administrators of these networks, as well as other wireless community based network entrepreneurs, will be part of a learning network o­n wireless technologies and its applications. By taking advantage of scheduled events in the region and the exchange and systematization of lessons learned, the learning network will consolidate a community of wireless network entrepreneurs in our region.

Selected candidates will receive an equipment package that allows establishing the connection between a central station and 4 remote points located at a maximum of 5 km (with line of sight). This number can be exceeded in special cases.

This book represents the first publication of the Regional Dialogue on the Information Society (DIRSI in Spanish), a regional network of leading researchers concerned with the creation and dissemination of knowledge that supports effective participation in the Information Society by the poor and marginalized communities in Latin American and the Caribbean.

The chapters that follow reflect different studies undertaken by DIRSI members under the common theme of pro-poor, pro-market ICT policies. This theme seeks to support next-generation policy reforms that build on the achievements of market liberalization efforts but at the same time address the realities of what we call digital poverty a concept that seeks to grasp the multiple dimensions of inadequate levels of access to ICT services as well as the barriers to their productive use.
