Join us for this public event, held on 13 May 2017, at 1 pm in Vancouver Hack Space, where Luka Mustafa, a Slovenian based, London educated Shuttleworth Foundation Fellow, founder of open hardware Institute IRNAS, will be presenting open source open hardware networking solution KORUZA and other open hardware projects he and his team have been developing in the past few years.
KORUZA is first open source, easily scalable wireless optical communication system for urban environments, which is circumventing a whole set of limiting factors: cable laying expenses, regulations, territory ownership, frequency congestion etc. Using transceivers ten times cheaper than other optical connectors, KORUZA can be set-up cheap and in a matter of hours. It can connect locations up to 150 m apart, empowering last-mile networking with 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps throughputs.
