Wirefree in Patmos

Abstract

This paper describes the author's involvement in an effort aimed at providing broadband Internet connectivity to the island of Patmos, a small island in the southeast Aegean sea. Different approaches to deploying WiFi are explored for the purpose of providing the convenience of always-on networking to all the physical spaces people frequent, both indoor and outdoor, thus providing cheap ubiquitous broadband Internet connectivity in places that very often have no other way to get that kind of service.
