Welcome to B.C. Wireless
The British Columbia Wireless Network Society is an organization dedicated to building Public Wireless Networks. We research, develop and operate Wireless Networks and information services with
a strong community oriented focus.
We use license exempt Wireless technology such as 802.11/WiFi, as well as Amateur Radio Technologies. The Society also operates and develops information
services to connect people in Communities together and make daily life more interesting.
We meet at least once a month at our Monthly Meetings, and hang out in our Internet Relay Chat Channel. We encourage anyone
interested in pushing the limits of Wireless, and who is interested in Community Building through wireless technology to sign up and introduce themselves in our
General Forum or IRC Chat.
