aagon helps!
Soest, April 26, 2016 Two local companies are committed to improving the living conditions of people housed in refugee accommodation in Bad Sassendorf near Soest. Gregor Steinweg, an employee of the company aagon, took the initiative: Thanks to his employer's generous donation of seven W-LAN routers and Regetech's promise to provide web access, the refugees in question will now have free Internet access. This enables them to keep in touch with their relatives and friends far away.
A sign of life to let people know how they are doing or a regular exchange about what is happening is important to everyone - especially those who find themselves in exceptional situations such as war or flight. Gregor Steinweg, developer at the company aagon in Soest, therefore wanted to help refugees in his city to communicate with relatives and friends worldwide.

This is a Germany-wide, non-commercial initiative that is dedicated to setting up and operating a free radio network consisting of self-managed local computer networks. "We use the technical infrastructure of Freifunk Möhne for the accommodation in Bad Sassendorf," explains the young man.
