I have been a member of Air Stream Wireless since 2002, and involved in the establishment of a number of key sites in the network and was voted onto the committee in 2004 holding the position of Secretary till October 2008. I have recently retired from committee due to extra commitments at work and home with the birth our second child (daughter). However, I intend to continued my participation as an active member and strong advocate for Air-Stream Wireless.
My background is in electronics and industrial engineering, and was involved in the electronics manufacturing industry for over 15 years.
Currently, I am the CEO of SA Group Enterprises an organisation that provides employment for people with a disability. I am also involved in a new technical interest group in Adelaide called Dorkbots
My involvement in Community Wireless Network came about, as a result of experiences and challenges establishing a wireless network between different office locations in order to reduce IT costs within our organisation. From this experience I realised that Community Wireless Networks offers many benefits for the broader community and other non-profit organisations like my own and I am now working to promote these advantages to other organisations and individuals, to help continue to grow the network.
It also happens to be quite good fun and you meet many people with similar interests.
Projects I have been involved include:
- Highgate Park
- Carrick Hill
- Bedford Park
- MOB
- O'Halloran Hill
- Mawson Centre
- Melrose Park
- North Terrace
- Northfield
- Skye1,2 & 3
- Pasadena
- Elizabeth Water Tower
- Ridleyton
I also provide a static IP for internet hosting of multi-homed services such as e-mail and jabber though the Melrose Park Node, so these services are available for other members both over the Internet and the wireless network.
My home network Setup
Above is the shed, where I run a router connected to Highgate Park using a 25dbi grid dish antenna the router provides multihomed services with a firewall between the Air-Stream network and my local network. It also runs a VPN between my local network and my work network, providing easy access to work files, email and other services located at the Melrose Park.
On my local network I currently run three main service, a voip phone, a media server for the TV & Stereo system all are connected by a wireless network.
Another web server 10.112.1.10 is located in the shed with the router for sharing files and information with other AS members on the network.
