I don't understand the sortof not-saying-it-but-maybe-saying-it implications that the big bad government had to "shut this down".
It was a 900mhz wifi router with some wishy washy "security" speak slathered on top of it to gain attention.
If you want a 900mhz wifi router, here: https://www.ubnt.com/airmax/nanobridgem/ https://www.ubnt.com/airmax/nanobridgem/
Go nuts. In fact, look at all of the other really cool stuff that ubiquity sells!
My guess would be that this talk was either pulled because the author got in a little over their head, or the organizers of the event realized that this was just going to be a talk about a DIY wifi access point.
BTW, proxyham guy: COOL PROJECT! Wifi access points are really fucking cool, and building your own is really fucking cool too. Everybody should build one.
- MichaelGG 11y agoUbiquiti stuff is great. Only low cost stuff I found that penetrates the Faraday cage that is Central American housing. (They're concerned about earthquakes, so they fill every wall with rebar and concrete. I need two long-range APs to cover my not-big house.) Downside is the admin system needs Java and runs as a service you browse to (and pretty sure there's a mongo dependency in there). Suppose it makes more sense in a dedicated office environment.
- nathancahill 11y agoYeah, exactly. Just installed a Ubiquiti setup in Guatemala between a tree on a mountain top (4G USB modem with high-gain antenna, solar panel, RouterBoard) to my parents house 2km down in the valley (where there isn't cell phone coverage). Works great! Had to use a high power flashlight at night to get the angle perfect, but it sure beats satellite internet once we got it dialed.
