[Project Name] N4C [Home Page] www.n4c.eu [Short Description] 
Many regions do not have access to the optical fibres, copper cables and radio waves linking up the world’s networks. Remote regions are often vast and sparsely populated, with a relatively poor economic base so that deployment of conventional access technologies is not viable. Combined with the huge distances involved, this means that constant connectivity will not be made available in these regions. N4C aims to use existing, novel technologies in these remote areas by creating an 'opportunistic networking architecture' (ONA) to exploit these communication opportunities and to set up two test beds in Swedish Lapland and Kocevje region of the Slovenian mountain.
