By August 2010, the network had grown to include 1,120 backbone nodes, with over 2,900 client computers actively linked to it.
Although the network began in Athens, the capital of Greece, its activities are no longer limited to the city.
It covers a geographical area 110 km from North to South and 85 km from West to East, with the most southern point being Palaia Epidavros (Epidaurus) and the most northern point being the town of Nea Artaki on the island of Euboea.
Recently the island of Euboea connected with more links with AWMN for redundancy purposes and the next stage will be to join the wireless 'islets' located in Corinth, Lamia (city) and Volos.
The network is a mosaic of people from varying ages and educational backgrounds including IT and telecommunications professionals, radio amateurs, IT students and technology enthusiasts.
Over the last few years, AWMN has tested (and later used in production environments) equipment from a huge variety of vendors.
Some members of the AWMN community have contributed feedback and code to many Linux routing projects.
