How to get an Internet connection to a field for a hacker camping festival
- jonty 14y agoFor anyone who wants to come to EMF, there's a £5 discount link floating around: https://www.emfcamp.org/tickets/token/hackspace https://www.emfcamp.org/tickets/token/hackspace
- walrus0 14y ago2.8 km is pretty easy with two Ubiquiti Nanobridges for example, that's a short distance... Nice expensive COW trailer too.
- natm 14y agoYep, our backup/second link will be a Nanobridge-M5, the primary is using 38ghz DragonWave kit. Nat (who wrote that blog post)
- EchoAbstract 14y agoDoes the UK have any regulation of the 38ghz band? Based on the FCC info here in the US (http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/spectrum/table/fcctable.pdf http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/spectrum/table/fcctable.pdf) the 38ghz area of the spectrum seems to have only a small subset of bands that qualify for this use. Do you know the exact frequency the DragonWave kit uses?
- flangey 14y agoYeah, it's all licensed up there. We've got a license from OFCOM (UK's FCC equivalent) for the radio link.
- kalleboo 14y agoTheir badges look fun too: http://blog.emfcamp.org/post/28558155390/revealing-tilda-our-camp-badge http://blog.emfcamp.org/post/28558155390/revealing-tilda-our... > By default it communicates with all the other badges on site, > playing a networked game that encourages you to meet other people > with differing interests. They also communicate with things on site, > but more about that soon.
- littletables 14y agoDefcon's badges were really fun this year as well and were also part of a game; some of us are still playing with them. The crypto game in them was designed to get attendees to meet new people and work together to problem solve.

- pbhjpbhj 14y agoFWIW opendns blocks your blog.emfcamp.org domain by default but the main domain is allowed. Couldn't really see why, usually it tells you a category it's blocked under but not this time.
- ohgodthecat3 14y agoI don't have it blocked by opendns and I have quite a few filters active on the network.
- pbhjpbhj 14y agoApologies, i should have checked http://www.opendns.com/support/cache/ http://www.opendns.com/support/cache/ - was a local rule for tumblr.
- xmpir 14y agoa hacker camp is such a great idea. they should check a few club mates so nobody has to sleep... http://www.club-mate.de/ http://www.club-mate.de/ (german drink - german homepage...)
- mike99 14y agoDo not worry. The hackspace london peeps are fully aware of club-mate and usually have a few crates in the hackspace!
- patdennis 14y agoIt would've been nice to have a setup like this at Bonnaroo. Or, perhaps, cell phone service.
