Wireless (probably engineers out of the University of Waterloo) that set <br>
up a wireless mesh network in Waterloo. They had info on building <br>
Pringles Cantennas, and other neat stuff. Sadly, they only live in my <br>
memory; my search-fu has been unable to find a trace of them in years.<br>

And now the name and <a href="https://www.waterloowireless.com/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.waterloowireless.com/</a> has been acquired <br>
by a commercial ISP, so I doubt there are any traces remaining at all.<br>
