SFLan — Community Wireless
What if you could surf the net wherever you go with no strings or wires attached?
SFLan is an experimental wireless community network in San Francisco. We aim to build a wireless network with LAN characteristics on a metropolitan scale.
SFLan is:
open: Everyone can join.
symmetrical: Upload speeds are the same as download speeds.
server-friendly: You get real, routable IP numbers.
distributed: You own your equipment.
fast: 100 Kbps to 5 Mbps: Enough to stream video. Getting faster every year.
wireless: The backbone is rooftop-to-rooftop, connected to datacenters.
free: No monthly charges.
How to join SFLan:
With a laptop: Be in the vicinity of a SFLan node. Associate with it: The SSID is sflanNN, where NN is the number of node, e.g. sflan13. No WEP. You’ll get an IP number assigned via DHCP.
With a house: Contact us. (Please include your address and a phone number.) Find out if you have line of sight to another SFLan node, buy a node, and we’ll put it on your roof.
