<div class="ace-line" id="magicdomid354"><span class="">as some of
you may recall, I have announced the development of a 1Gbps
wireless optical system suitable for community networks in
Barcelona. Now almost a year later I am very excited to share
the progress with you, as well as to seek your help</span><span

<div class="ace-line" id="magicdomid68"><span class="">KORUZA is
an innovative open-source open-hardware wireless communication
system, employing a new low-cost approach to designing
free-space optical network systems, enabling
building-to-building connectivity with a highly collimated
light beam at a capacity of 1 Gbps (1000 Mbps) at distances up
to 100 m. It is designed to be suitable for home as well as
professional users, enabling organic bottom-up growth of
networks by eliminating the need for wired fiber connections
and associated high installation costs. The simplicity of use,
low-cost and compact size allow the system to be deployed in
any network.</span></div>

under active development, but at the moment with my personal
resources in Slovenia. The next months are going to be
dedicated to evolve the prototype into a product suitable for

in Berlin in October, hopefully along with a crowd-funding
campaign for the first series. A lot of work, time and
resources are required for the project to grow up sufficiently
to support itself. I am appealing to </span><span
