The mountains of Mesh sweep down to the WiFi sea

The little town of Dundrum in Northern Ireland has just had a hi-tech boost, propelled by a high speed internet service from Aperture Wireless Broadband.

Looking down on the town from the hill above is ancient Dundrum castle, which provides a great vantage point to see the way that the mesh network covers the town. The LocustWorld mesh connects prominent points throughout Dundrum, covering the whole area with high speed wireless internet.

"Our mission is to provide cost effective, simple and scalable Wireless Broadband Internet" say Adrian Lyon from Aperture Wireless. Aperture use the LocustWorld wireless mesh to distribute the broadband internet service to users all around the town. The LocustWorld mesh provides a cost effective and innovative method to deliver broadband internet that network operators are discovering in communities world wide.

"Everyone wants Broadband Internet", says Richard Lander, from LocustWorld, "but there are a lot of places where conventional broadband services don't reach. In these places local operators use the LocustWorld Mesh to deliver broadband internet to business and domestic customers, transforming the lives and work of local people."

The LocustWorld mesh provides a self contained package of hardware and software for network operators to provide internet access using wireless networking.

In Dundrum users are discovering the benefits of broadband internet.

Maurice Hogg has been very pleased with his broadband. "The new service is so much quicker than dialup. I now use the internet almost every day. I race motorbikes, and I find that I can get a great deal of information on races and parts from the internet. When I used dial-up I got sick of the slow speed and pages that would not open. It's great for my kids too, they can now use the internet for multi-media materials like music and video that were not possible before we got broadband."
