[Chapter-delegates] Solar Shed - Pictures

Wed Aug 3 13:00:51 PDT 2016

Vint,

it should at least for those genuinely interested and already involved.
Guifi was among the projects showcased in the recent webinar on this
subject.

So were Rhizomatica's projects in Mexico and a few others.

After the webinar I have had a chance to talk to some people close to the
Rhizomatica project and found out something interesting. It is known that
they operate a 2G cellular network for voice. Its resources are extremely
limited so they have to cut the calls really short. Data (Internet) is
mostly hopeless. The new thing I heard last week: the evolution of the
project may not be towards 3G, 4G, 5G, but more likely to 2G plus data. I
haven't found out the rationale for this choice but speculate it could have
something to do with the cell radius, which is larger in the older
technologies (5 km vs. 2 km of 3G onwards?) Any thoughts, anybody?

One should realize that these more ambitious projects are installing a cell
base and not only WiFi, so not necessarily the model others are following,
where we assume some point-to-point access in the community for backhaul
and then spread it out by WiFi and LAN or by mesh networks.
