Building Wireless Community Networks

Want to build a network for wireless access to all homes in a residential community of about 80 homes. Looking for a good source of hardware, software and instructional material. Thank you, in advance for any information you may be able to provide.

hi, since you are technically oriented, why dont you give the university of urbana champaign wireless (ucwireless.com) project a shot? you wont need any proprietary hardware other than old pcs to use as access points. antennas you can buy from hyperlink or rflinx. you can also use soekris boards. you havent mentioned whether you are going to give away the service for free or will it be a paid service. OpenwRT is also a good project if you have Linksys wRT routers
