What makes this pilot project at the two Halifax manors even more interesting is the fact they are the first "ubiquitous" wireless residential buildings in the province.
That means that you can walk from one floor to another and back again and never lose the connection as it seamlessly continues from one access point to another.
"We've been trying for more than 10 years to get this off the ground. Basically the latest chapter of the story started in March when I went to the board and said look, let's pay for it ourselves," explained Chebucto Community Net's officer manager Andrew Wright.
The project was initially expected to cost $23,000 but came under budget at $19,000. Wright said the cost for the two buildings, each with roughly 200 units, works out to about $50 per resident.
