Hi Mitar,


Thanks for forwarding this on -- it is great to hear that Luka is
progressing with his work.

Paul.

        Dear all,
        
        as some of you may recall, I have announced the development of a
        1Gbps
        wireless optical system suitable for community networks in
        Barcelona.
        Now almost a year later I am very excited to share the progress
        with
        you, as well as to seek your help in finding suitable
        development and
        travel grants and obtaining recomendation/introduction letters
        for them.
        
        KORUZA is an innovative open-source open-hardware wireless
        communication
        system, employing a new low-cost approach to designing
        free-space
        optical network systems, enabling building-to-building
        connectivity with
        a highly collimated light beam at a capacity of 1 Gbps (1000
        Mbps) at
        distances up to 100 m. It is designed to be suitable for home as
        well as
        professional users, enabling organic bottom-up growth of
        networks by
        eliminating the need for wired fiber connections and associated
        high
        installation costs. The simplicity of use, low-cost and compact
        size
        allow the system to be deployed in any network.
        
        Feel free to see a more detailed description of the project with
        nice
        diagrams at:
        http://koruza.net
        
        As well as some details about the current state of the prototype
        system:
        http://koruza.net/Prototype
        
        I have written a scientific paper on the topic: Reintroducing
        Free-Space
        Optical Technology to Community Wireless Networks, which is
        available on
        (unfortunately behind a paywall):
        http://aisel.aisnet.org/amcis2013/ISUsage/RoundTablePresentations/3/
        
        The paper will hopefully be presented to wider audience on
        AMCIS2013
        conference in Chicago this August, but am at the moment lacking
        sufficient travel funding to attending it. You are most kindly
        invited
        to forward the project to any organisation that would be able to
        support me.
        
        KORUZA is under active development, but at the moment with my
        personal
        resources in Slovenia. The next months are going to be dedicated
        to
        evolve the prototype into a product suitable for the everyone to
        use and
        I am looking forward to presenting it in Berlin in October,
        hopefully
        along with a crowd-funding campaign for the first series. A lot
        of work,
        time and resources are required for the project to grow up
        sufficiently
        to support itself. I am appealing to you for help in obtaining a
        grant,
        by puting me in touch with suitable organisations or
        individuals, that
        will enable the project to continue and meet the above described
        goals.
        
        I am looking forward to meeting you all in Berlin again.
        
        Kind regards,
