Participants had Gigabit Ethernet through Datenklos (repurposed new chemical toilets with Ethernet switches). [10] A network of 130 Wireless access points provided high-speed network covering the entire camp, with both Public, Encrypted, Spacenet and Eduroam service. The camp also featured a local DECT phone network, with optional SIP service SIP for app-based calling from modern devices like Android, iPhone, and laptops. Also found on all fields of the camp are the field phones that could be used by those without a DECT or smartphone.
