Overview

A field day type event like Ham radio operators do to test out emergency communication only with ethernet and wifi links to build a computer network. Basically, how quickly and to what extent can we create an computer network that operates similar to the Internet.


Goals

  • Portable power
    • batteries, solar, wind turbines, etc
  • Mesh network nodes capable of being run on available power.
    • OpenWRT capable devices
  • Various antenna types
  • DNS server
  • DHCP server
  • Captive portal page containing emergency and general information for people joining the network.
  • Communication options
    • IRC
    • BBS?
    • SMS gateway
    • Jabber server
  • QR code ( http://delivr.com/qr-code-generator ) stickers and/or stencils containing a link or information about the network in a given area. Keep with the nodes and/or on the nodes.
  • Have a file repo available and linked off the captive portal containing mesh network packages, etc. Piratebox ( http://wiki.daviddarts.com/PirateBox ) perhaps.
  • Local copies of Wikipedia or Appropedia for reference use.
