Activists are Designing Mesh Networks to Deploy During Civil Unrest
The Mycelium Mesh Project is testing DIY networks that can be quickly deployed on trees or lamp posts during a political uprising.
You're viewing a single thread.
Sadly from October 2021, their site seems to be offline
The project it looks based on is Meshtastic, the nodes are pretty cheap, you can even find them on Amazon if your truly desperate.
I LOVE Meshtastic!
There's also MeshCore, and now the networks are split between these 2.
Well... Shit. Time to check out meshcore!
Edit: Nah, company driven.
I'll keep the fully open GPL 3 meshtastic my preferred
If someone is interested in getting involved with meshtastic but doesn’t have soldering or any electronics background you can purchase ready made devices from many vendors.

Thanks dad.
There are lots of competing LoRa mesh networks right now.
