Hi David,<br>
<br>
My collegue Richard from Connect Quebec suggest to take a look at
villagetelco Web site. Might find it interesting. They've been
working on wireless mesh networks for quite a while!<br>

Thanks for posting this. ISOC Singapore Chapter has been working on creating
an emergency (e7y) networking toolkit. I did a presentation about it last year
(video: <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltVg_eNXBn0">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltVg_eNXBn0</a>).
Some ideas that we are working with:
a) Using the serval project as a starting point (sevalproject.org)
because it is already
running but uses existing Andrioid-based phones as the end points.
I have not
tried to get the Serval code to run in a Raspberry Pi yet - it is
on my to-do list.
b) Experimenting with ESP8266 devices to create essentially tiny battery-powered
relay nodes. These could be dispersed in a region to help set up a mesh.
c) As I am a ham (9v1hp), I am also experimenting with Broadband HamNet
(<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/">http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/</a>) for connections independent of ISPs
and telcos.
