Find out about WLANs

These WLAN projects are mainly located in the UK but can also be found I places such as Canada, Australia and USA.

These projects have been created to provide a an internet connection that can be used by and only by a community making it safe for them to use as no one form other area can access it as it is specially for that area.

They serve groups such as business and communities by providing them with a wide area network which can be used to access people from other locations which is very different to a Local area network.

I believe they will have an impact on the digital divide as they can help people gain access to the internet so they can talk or email people in different states, countries and so on making it a community based wireless making it more likely that they will continue to use the internet.
