[Chapter-delegates] Solar Shed - Pictures

[Jane Coffin]

And, for all – we are planning to hold a ½ day “Day 0” Event with APC and FGV at the IGF in Guadalajara ;)
The event will lead into APC’s Disco Tech event that will be themed and have some topics as follows:

The provisionary title of the prevent would be “Community Networks: How to Build Connectivity?”
The event is aimed at focusing on topics related to:
-Community Building/Getting Started
-Business Case/Sustainability
-Tools for setting up networks/The “How”
-Tools for training/The “How” and sustainability
-Software/Hardware Tools
-Spectrum issues
-Legal/policy (as related to spectrum or authorizations)

And, the Disco Tech event --> will be themed around Community Networking.

We are still working on the who/what, but know that lots of great synergies and connecting pipl and great work is being plotted ;)

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.

I assume Guifi.net is also well-known to this list?

Hi,

all interested may start with the "Green Book" http://wndw.net/pdf/wndw2-en/wndw2-ebook.pdf

A project in India - the Dharamsala mesh network - is documented there.

Glenn,


Please do document the work on mesh network as extensively as you could with your vivid photographs, with short write ups on the equipment and installation where necessary. This could be a model for ISOC Chapters to emulate in rural areas in different parts of the world.

Glenn –
This is awesome ;)

Are you documenting the development of the mesh network?

Best,
Jane

We  recently built a  off-the-grid solar system at a farm location for  water pumping, lighting, fans and charging of  cell phones

The next phase is setting up a Mesh Network at the location
