The goal of this project is to provide the Silliman University campus with free internet via wifi technology. Students with wifi capable devices can access the internet at the comfort under a waiting shed or under an acacia tree. This will also help dormitorians from going out of the campus at night just to acces the internet and also its one added feature for Sillimanians to have. This is also a product of numerous complaints of the slow and unavailable internet connection of the universitys cyberlib.
The project aims to put an access point in each dormitory and in strategic points of the campus which will connect to a main access point then to a broadband linux router. The bandwidth will just be around 512 to 768, if i can find more donors then maybe 1 MB of DSL line. Again some idiotic questions will arise like "Can that access point serve the entire student population?" the answer would that to be the implementation of a transparent proxy server which will filter out p2p downloads and pornsites, it will only be exclusive to web browsing, of course friendster, yahoo other sites will not be banned, only the downloading of huge files such as mp3s and movies are disallowed.
The project hopefully will soon kick off as I can get more access points in hand probably by september. The internet line will be shouldered by one popular telco.
I can not do this on my own, this is not a one mans quest for glory, I am not after it or anything, I just want to add some several features for my beloved almamater. If you are willing to help in anyway just try to call or text me at 0922 500 5186 or send me an email: dax.cordova@gmail.com
