What is PierToPier.net?

In operation since the early Summer of 2003, Piertopier.net provides free wireless internet access to Brighton beach using WiFi (IEEE 802.11b) technologies. With a WiFi card in your laptop, or a Mac with Apple's airport capabilities, you can connect to the internet for free from the beach, when in range of our nodes.

Piertopier.net is provided by the Community for the Community; we are not a business, just an experiment in community networking by interested individuals. As such we are solely donation supported, so there is no business model to fail. If people use this network, it will survive and grow.

We seek to utilise the best in open source and community networking technologies to provide our infrastructure, and our internet connectivity is provided by high-bandwidth SHDSL links from Moving-Edge, a local ISP.

We are always looking for more nodes and donations of places to have nodes, internet access, computer equipment and cash, in exchange for a sponsorship credit are all welcome.
