Abstract

Societies are increasingly interconnected, and globalization is bringing a need to access real-time information regardless of the user's location. A wireless network that provides Internet access, free of charge, to citizens of all countries of the European Community is offered in the framework of this project. An analysis between different solutions that are offering a similar service has been carried out to both public and private initiatives. Furthermore, it has been conducted a study about the legal implications that the deployment has inside the Spanish telecommunications market, and its direct links to achieve the free-market requirements. Besides the analysis, a brief study on the use of radio channel spectrum devoted to WiFi under designated use of ISM band, in the city of Barcelona, has been performed. As a result, it was chosen a solution offered by OpenWISP for implementation. Test results were obtained in order to finally deploy the main idea of the project.
