========================================================================
===
If you are a faculty member or a researcher at an accredited university
or college, I invite you to use the Mesh Networking Academic Resource
Toolkit 2005 as a research and teaching resource for exploring core
technologies in wireless networking. 

The toolkit contains all the source code, binaries, and documentation
you will need to get started. You will just need a PC with a wireless
card and DVD/CD drive to work with it.

Details at: http://research.microsoft.com/netres/kit

Several of our colleagues are already using this toolkit and with this
email we are opening up the program further.  To see who is using the
toolkit and what they are using it for, visit:

Additionally, I want to bring to your attention a $1.2 million funding
opportunity from Microsoft that seeks to empower academic researchers
worldwide to tackle technological challenges that positively impact
health, education, and socio-economic conditions in underserved areas.

Proposal Deadline is: Jan. 13, 2006, 12:00 PM, Noon, PST (8:00 PM
UTC/GMT)
