[OLPC India] How to? School server implementation

[Marc Valentin]

Hi Sulo,
I am very interested to know more about the server aspect too.
I found this picture about the pilot project :

If somebody involved with the pilot project could give us a feedback about
how they implemented the server aspect, that would be nice. Maybe even a
tutorial...
For example : Did youget a Mesh antenna from OLPC or did you use simple wifi
? How is the internet connection being done ?
What about electricity ? As I understand, server is not working on
batteries.
