It is designed to be suitable for home as well as<br>professional users, enabling organic bottom-up growth of networks by<br>eliminating the need for wired fiber connections and associated high<br>installation costs. The simplicity of use, low-cost and compact size<br>allow the system to be deployed in any network.<br><br>Feel free to see a more detailed description of the project with nice<br>diagrams at:<br><a href="http://koruza.net" target="_blank">http://koruza.net</a><br><br>As well as some details about the current state of the prototype system:<br><a href="http://koruza.net/Prototype" target="_blank">http://koruza.net/Prototype</a><br><br>I have written a scientific paper on the topic: Reintroducing Free-Space<br>Optical Technology to Community Wireless Networks, which is available on<br>(unfortunately behind a paywall):<br><a href="http://aisel.aisnet.org/amcis2013/ISUsage/RoundTablePresentations/3/" target="_blank">http://aisel.aisnet.org/amcis2013/ISUsage/RoundTablePresentations/3/</a><br><br>The paper will hopefully be presented to wider audience on AMCIS2013<br>conference in Chicago this August, but am at the moment lacking<br>sufficient travel funding to attending it. You are most kindly invited<br>to forward the project to any organisation that would be able to support me.<br><br>KORUZA is under active development, but at the moment with my personal<br>resources in Slovenia. The next months are going to be dedicated to<br>evolve the prototype into a product suitable for the everyone to use and<br>I am looking forward to presenting it in Berlin in October, hopefully<br>along with a crowd-funding campaign for the first series. A lot of work,<br>time and resources are required for the project to grow up sufficiently<br>to support itself. I am appealing to you for help in obtaining a grant,<br>by puting me in touch with suitable organisations or individuals, that<br>will enable the project to continue and meet the above described goals.<br><br>I am looking forward to meeting you all in Berlin again.<br><br>Kind regards,<br>Luka Mustafa - Musti<br><a href="mailto:musti@wlan-si.net">musti@wlan-si.net</a><br>wlan slovenija<br><span style='color:#888888'><br><span class=hoenzb>--</span><br><span class=hoenzb><a href="http://mitar.tnode.com/" target="_blank">http://mitar.tnode.com/</a></span><br><span class=hoenzb><a href="https://twitter.com/mitar_m" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/mitar_m</a></span><br><br><br><span class=hoenzb>_______________________________________________</span><br><span class=hoenzb>Battlemesh mailing list</span><br><span class=hoenzb><a href="mailto:Battlemesh@ml.ninux.org">Battlemesh@ml.ninux.org</a></span><br><span class=hoenzb><a href="http://ml.ninux.org/mailman/listinfo/battlemesh" target="_blank">http://ml.ninux.org/mailman/listinfo/battlemesh</a></span></span><o:p></o:p></p></blockquote></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
