Green Wi-Fi for a Better World
August 3rd, 2006 Posted in Main Page, Wireless/Wi-Fi
Amid all the focus on municipal Wi-Fi, it was interesting read Tyler Hamilton's post on Green Wi-Fi, a non-profit company that provides solar-powered technology. The only thing needed to fire up the network is a broadband connection. It sounds like a good solution for emerging markets, particularly schools. Green Wi-Fi was started two ex-Sun Microsystems executives, Bruce Baikie and Marc Pomerleau. The company has received seed money from the One Laptop Per Child initiative, which aims to build a $100 laptop to be distributed to children in developing countries. CNet has an extensive story on Green Wi-Fi.
