Ask HN: What will it take for phones to be able to mesh during emergencies?
Is it yet possible to do mesh networking with modern smartphones? If not, is there a point at which the phones will be likely to be able to create robust mesh networks during an emergency outage and if so what will it take?

I believe you need a rooted phone to do this. However, you can connect as a client on non-rooted phones.

- mariusz79 14y agoI don't know about smartphones, but you just need an old wrt54xx router to create a really nice mesh network. http://hsmm-mesh.org/just-starting-read-this.html http://hsmm-mesh.org/just-starting-read-this.html
