Community Wireless Networks (CWN) like Air-stream Wireless are in essence a technology interest group where like-minded people share an interest in telecommunications using wireless LAN technologies over distance. Members run and managed the group and all funds raised are solely used to purchase shared assets or fund costs of member activities as a whole.
Some core activities include:
- Holding meetings and events for members where they can meet and discuss.
- Share information with other members via websites, email and other communications.
- Pool resources and knowledge to build a Wide Area Network WAN that members can connect, host services and experiment with.
By joining a CWN like Air-Stream Wireless you not only have a say how the group is run and direct access to the real hands-on experience, but also access to the shared assets, discounts and services members make available.
