Wray - the first Lancashire wifi network hotspot, welcome to the scarecrow village!

To provide a little background about the Wray Broadband project - This was a project which started in 2003 by Lancaster Universities Computing Department with the goal of providing villagers in Wray with access to the Internet for the first time. In 2010 it underwent a major upgrade, with a new set of devices deployed to the village created by Lancaster University. The network is now capable of providing connectivity to individuals far beyond what a typical UK household would typically receive. The high speed network is now used by researchers for a number of research projects, including the next generation of TV distribution – the P2P-Next project http://www.p2p-next.org.

The village also hosts the digital noticeboard project and the OurTravel TSB research volunteers.
