Gateway Node
The Node MUST provide an AccessPoint (ie. run in InfrastructureMode) and MUST NOT restrict

access via WEP, 802.1x or any other mechanism.
The AccessPoint MUST broadcast its ESSID and have it set to www.personaltelco.net

●
The ESSID MUST be all lower case.
The Network MUST provide open and zero cost access to the internet and/or the "wireless cloud".
●
●
The Node MUST serve IP addresses to clients via DHCP or IPv6 autoconfiguration.
The AccessPoint MUST be accessible from a public space (ie. can't require trespass or breaking

What is an Access Point
An AccessPoint is a physical device which allows
wireless users to access a wired network.
●APs are designed to act as the wireless equivelent of
an ethernet hub or switch.
●They allow multiple wireless clients (NICs) to connect
to one central hub in InfrastructureMode (BSS).
●From the physical connectivity point of view, they act
as a star network.
●Every wireless client talks to every other one via the
AccessPOINT.

What is a Captive Portal?
A way to either have users of your node login or agree to a
Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) before getting access.
The PTP uses NotCatAuth in many of its nodes to allow
users to gain access by simply reading the PTP AUP and
clicking on a I Agree button.
We never ask for a name, login or personal information.
