A new public wireless interface: Hivenetworks successfully launch 'Street Radio' in Southampton

On Friday the 14th of March 2008 ten 'street radio' nodes went live in Southampton narrowcasting Hidden Histories -- stories from Southamptons Oral History Archive selected and arranged to correspond with the location of the 10 nodes.

Another listener at Node 07. Some people did seem to get quite into it and the feedback was quite overwhelmingly positive.

The three ladies in this image either work for Southampton City Council heritage services or support the OHU as a volunteer. They took their time to listen into each node and apparently enjoyed it.

Hivebox on Lambpost in front of former Tyrell and Green building

The box in the image is node 07 and it plays stories about food of the poor and aspects of domestic life. For some reason this node has one of the best receptions, acoustically speaking -- it can be heard clearly from quite far away.
