Is There a Role for Wireless Networks in Disaster Preparedness?
That was the question the New York Times Magazine explored this past weekend in its Idea Lab section. Its “Talking in the Dark” article cited CNT’s work over the past two years building wireless community networks in four Illinois communities and covered our recent activities in the Gulf, where we have been working as part of a team to reestablish communications in the region using wireless technology.
Our work in the Gulf also garnered coverage from Network World, which called it “one of the few success stories to emerge from Katrina’s demolition.”
Read the latest on our work in the Gulf region in the Wireless Community Network blog. And if you live in the Chicago region, tune into CAN-TV Channel 21 at 5 PM today for a 25-minute call-in-show about CNT’s community wireless work.
