Hey guys, us wellington folk have been plodding along with our network but have hit a stumbling block.. a name for our network...
This name will be used for documentation given to corporates/businesses/interested parties and will also be our SSID (In the Hutt Valley at least... the CBD and Western Wellington guys may choose another name)
*snip*
Lilypad (hierachically and metaphorically similar to the Water Lily plant)
Quote:
The analogous reference between wireless networks and water lilies was originally coined by Alessandro Ovi, technology adviser to European Commission president Romano Prodi.
Think of a pond with one water lily, then two, then four, then many overlapping, with their stems reaching into the Internet…
… Messages can hop peer-to-peer, leaping from lily to lily like frogs (wired.com) |
Freap (free AP, rhymes with "cheap")
SWARM (looking for a reference to unique wellington things, this spawned from an attempt to bring the beehive into it - Honeycomb, a reference to meshing seemed a little too lame, but bees swarm, and this could stand for something like Structured (Scalable?) Wellington ARea MAN)
WellingtonWireless
WellyWireless (both sorta jabs at WooshWireless/WalkerWireless)
GustNet (just a reference to the weather)
ww.MAN (A homage to URL's with a hidden meaning - Wellington Wireless . MAN)
MAN can be mixed in to any suggestion as it is a Metropolitan Area Network, the other thing I've been think of is the product "Nair" which is "No Hair" so something like "Nire" or "NireMAN"
