Geoff I'm sure the stuff your IT consultancy recommends is far better!? Seriously if you want wireless in Cambridge, it's your best bet. By the way I am sending this over the Cambridge Matrix!
Margaret Jones
Matrix is the only service where I don't need a phone line or contract for my broadband at home. If you sit in front of a cellular base station and don't get a line on your mobile you can say: "Not so sure Vodaphone are there yet, was holding my mobile only inches from the mast." On the other hand a power failure or the transmitter no longer being in operation or your mobile not working properly can explain why numerous attempts will lead to no connection even when only stood a few metres away from the transmitter. Next time you are in Cambridge visit the Corn Exchange. You will get Matrix in the historic centre without even seeing a transmitter. I was at Strawberry fair when they demo'd TV, radio and phone on the mesh network. The services were mobile the technology is definitely there.

I was at the strawberry fair last year and saw the demo and - cos it was so crowded (vodaphone busy) - and i had wi-fi on my phone used it to call my girlfriend. Bonus no harm to my love life at the end of the day would have been a disaster if I'd lost her!!!

George, next time you go to Cambridge and want something a lot cheaper (£2 a day), try the Matrix. I use it on Mill Road, no problem getting a signal in the White Swan and it's an Irish pub as well. Also if you're in the centre of town pop into the Corn Exchange cafe instead. Again just £2 for the day, £15 for the month and the same all over Cambridge. If you have a problem give them a ring their telephone number's on the website. I've always found them personable and helpful. Last time my friend visited and stayed at the Centennial hotel and connected to the Matrix from their during her stay so they obviously have coverage in more places - hope this helps! Sarah

I have been doing some research into wireless mesh networking in Cambridge, Mass. These types of systems have been stopped by lots of problems this company seems to have solved. I am very excited that this makes it easy to deploy such systems in place of 3G, GSM, GPRS and other types of mobile network! I'm looking forward to the next developments.

This sounds absolutely wonderful! What a great space age idea that would put cambridge in the world news once again. Pushing us further to the future. Just one question, will the system be available for macs?
