A practical guide to planning and building low-cost telecommunications infrastructure. According to WNDW, by applying Wireless technology in areas that are badly in need of critical communications infrastructure, more people can be brought online than ever before, in less time, for very little cost. WDNW hope to not only convince practitioners that this is possible, they also show how they have made such networks work, and they give the information and tools needed to start a network project serving local communities.

If you are looking for a good publication about how to implement a Wireless network in your institution or for your partners, then this "Open Publication" released under Creative Commons License is for you. The official Web site allow users to download freely a PDF version available in English, French or Spanish and to order a printed copy of the book from Lulu.com, a print-on-demand service. Additional resources as well as a Wiki space are also accessible.

"This book was created by a team of individuals who each, in their own field, are actively participating in the ever expanding Internet by pushing its reach farther than ever before. Over a period of a few months, we have produced a complete book that documents our efforts to build wireless networks in the developing world," says Rob Flickenger.
