Club Activities & Events

The club provides a platform for individuals and community groups to learn about, use and build a wide area network across Adelaide using wireless technologies. Technologies include 802.11a/b/g/n wireless networking equipment on 900Mhz, 2.4Ghz and 5.8Ghz ISM Bands. Learning and using free and open source software (FOSS) such as Linux, FreeBSD, WRT and other software systems are also very much apart of club life, including hosting content, experimentation and using various forms of communications systems over the network. This also includes the physical aspects of radio such as building masts, coaxial cabling, electronics, antenna installation & alignment.

Air-Stream Wireless has a free open access policy for any non-profit group who wishes to be involved including, Amateur Radio clubs, Scouts, hobby groups, welfare organisations, CUGs, schools or universities. Any organised group who wishes to provide content to the community or just use the network to support or promote their groups activities.
