'''Juneau Wireless''' is a [[:Category:Non-profit|non-profit]] effort to develop a {{tag|wireless}} {{tag|broadband}} community-run network for Juneau, {{tag|Alaska}}, USA. This effort is modeled after the [[SeattleWirelessWiki|Seattle Wireless]] effort, and uses inexpensive wireless technology to successfully create a wide area network in {{Wp|Juneau}}. This is a community owned distributed system. A community network is different from other networks most people are accustomed to. This is aimed at creating a fully redundant wireless mesh network covering the city of Juneau and surrounding areas. There are no fees involved in order to connect to the mesh.  In order to connect all that is needed is a wireless card and to be near a node.  To create a node a person will have to purchase their own wireless equipment, follow the [[IP address]]ing scheme and join up!  You will own your own node completely free of restrictions of cable or phone lines.  Each person that joins helps the network grow and expand and provide a better experience for all their peers.
