Amsternet relies on volunteers and as such this website is a work in progress. We rely on comments and suggestions to improve this website. AMSTERNET GOALS The Amsternet foundation goals are to provide network and internet access via wireless technologies at the lowest cost. Amsternet is developing three uses for this high speed wireless network Internet access Amsternet wants to be an Wireless Internet Service Provider for the Amsterdam area. Currently Amsternet is building several nodes to provide a city wide backbone for distributing internet. Telephony Amsternet is also developing advanced VoIP infrastructure to allow telephony services over our wireless network. Video streaming Amsternet wants to deliver high quality video streams using multicasting technologies to it's end users. Amsternet wants to be the first non-profit internet provider, telephony provider, and broadcast network not relying on any infrastructure of third parties (either copper wire or fiber optic). End user participation To participate as
an end user and get access to the network you need a "wireless network

what kind of hardware you need. Contact us
