Setup for Wireless Community Networks Initiative
As a part of the Libre Digital Library (LDL) and the Community Networks Initiative, FSFTN is planning to start the activity and collect around 4TB size of Creative Commons Data in the form of Ebooks, Videos, Audio, Tutorials, Softwares and other infrastructures that are required to setup the Community Networks.
In order to do that we need,
- A Raspberry Pi 4 with 2GB
- A 32GB SD Card
- A 4TB Hard Disk for storing contents permanently
- A 1TB Hard Disk for cloning minimal contents and replicate it in Schools, Parks, Libraries, etc
- Routers and Cables
Item | Cost |

Western Digital 4TB Hard Disk | Rs. 8,499 |
Western Digital 1TB Hard Disk | Rs. 3,699 |
Raspberry Pi 4 (2 GB) | Rs. 3,390 |
Sandisk 32GB SD Card | Rs. 399 |
TP-Link Router | Rs. 999 |
Total Cost | Rs. 16,986 |
If you would like to donate Routers and other requirements for this initiative, it will be very useful.
FSFTN requests the Community to donate a minimum contribution for the movement to afford these devices which would be used for,
- Deploying Community Networks with these content in Libraries, Schools, Apartments, etc around Tamil Nadu starting from Chennai
- Setting up Libre Digital Library with these contents in various localitites
