Abstract :
We have been serving public wireless Internet access MIAKO.NET in Kyoto based on IEEE802.11b wireless LAN technology. MIAKO.Net provides mobile Internet access with a fixed IP address and high-level security. MIAKO.NET is quite unique in its volunteerism. It is managed by a nonprofit organization and supported by citizens in Kyoto. We describe the basic policy of MIAKO.NET and the design and operational issues of the network.
