At this point, it really is a collection of hobbyists who want to help but can't offer much, however every day we acquire one or two more skilled, dedicated engineers/techs to help. IRC user Tanuki is currently running a meshnet project in Australia with 150 users over 200 KM. He was just offered satellite time for distant sites!
- trafficlight 15y agoOver 200K what?
- Wohlf 15y agoSorry, over 200 kilometers. I should have put km.
- trafficlight 15y agoSo is this like a true mesh network, or just a traditional wireless network. If it's a mesh network, do nodes have multiple point-to-point links. I assume they would over the larger than a few km distances you're talking about.
- Wohlf 15y agoWe are in the early planning phase, but our intent is a true mesh.
- nextparadigms 15y agoHybrid network is fine for now, and maybe even desirable to get it off the ground and make it usable for most people. Just try making it work as well as possible with what technologies we have now, and as they improve in the next decade or so, it should become easier to achieve a true mesh network. Take a look at Super Wifi for example, which should allow for greater distance between points: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Wi-Fi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Wi-Fi Wi-fi 802.11ac should also help with that bandwidth problem, offering speeds up to 1 Gbps: http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-20030964-264.html http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-20030964-264.html
