After all these years, we finally have our own working node map. You don’t have to email anyone to get on it (like the original), and it’s on our server, so we can implement all the nifty features that we’ve dreamed up over the years. I would really love to see an OLSR plugin that auto-updates the map on it’s status and gives us not only an accurate count, but statistics as well…
Thanks to the Google API (and a bunch of work by Eric Butler), it’s not cutting off any key points of Seattle, and it is very easy on the eyes.
Green nodes are verified nodes, and at the moment, require one of us to make an entry in the database. Adding potential or unverified yellow nodes takes a second of your time, and gives us an idea of what is out there. Please take a moment to add yourself.
And don’t forget to update the Wiki!
Maybe you would like to check out
what we did here in Greece to map our wireless nodes…
The url is wind.awmn.net
Btw it is open source an maybe you could use it if it feets your needs….
Nice.
I did a babelfish translation, but couldn’t really make out what was going on. It’s a nice looking map though. Lots of features, lots of nodes. How big is AWMN, and is it an ad-hoc community of APs or more of a cohesive network structure that follows a pico peering or freenetworks type agreement?
I also took a look at the topology of Athens (and Tripoli) in Google Earth, looks like you have excellent conditions for wireless.
Awesome stuff.
The structure of AWMN is as follows.
The nodes are divided into two categories
1.Backbone nodes
2.Clients nodes
Each backbone node has two ore more peer to peer decicated links with others backbone nodes and may or may not have an access point offering access to awmn and maybe to the internet.
(at least two wireless network interfaces)
Clients nodes are nodes which simply connect to an access point of a backbone node (only one wireless network interface).
There are currently around 300 backbone nodes and around 400 client nodes.
Currently no peering agreement is made between the nodes but that is a big debate going on right now…
I should also mention in my previous post the homepage of the wind project which is wind.cube.gr
but i suspect you already found that.
Maybe there you will be able to find more info in english
At this url http://info.awmn.net/users/cpg/index.php?cat=2
there are some photos of the installations made by backbone nodes.
Enjoy
CUWiN really needs a good mapping program — I’m excited to see so much work being done in this area — very cool.
