  Here is a map of the network topology. Open up the legend on the right http://mapa.czfree.net/#lat=50.05831104094459&lng=14.475918933749199&zoom=14&tilt=0&heading=0&autofilter=1&type=satellite&node=1593&aponly=1&bbonly=1&actlink=1&actnode=1& http://mapa.czfree.net/#lat=50.05831104094459&lng=14.4759189... The mesh network is then connected to NFX fiber lines in some places. https://www.nfx.cz/ https://www.nfx.cz/ NFX is then connected to the main fiber backbones for the Czech Republic, NIX: https://www.nix.cz/cs https://www.nix.cz/cs You can read about the exact connection information on page 3 here: https://www.nix.cz/en/file/NIX_PROVOZNI_RAD_EN https://www.nix.cz/en/file/NIX_PROVOZNI_RAD_EN Edit: I also posted the map here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15376982 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15376982, so "maybe" there will be more discussion on the technical side of it.
