We played with this tech when we did the prototype. But the engineering would have taken longer than I had available buuut I may revisit now that I got workshop and space
Now we need a Name - Community Communication System ???
Mesh Network equipment is on the way along with installers from Canada and the UK. They are paying their own way here and doing everything for free to promote their system. AgoristHosting (Drew and Derrick were consultants along with John Sneisen)
OccupyTheLand and MoonBaseBob as mesh nodes connected via a mountain relay with a 120 deg directional antenna covering 3 valleys and at least a 500 square miles to start for $700 and can use any Smartphone with WiFi connection.
A lot of talk about doing what we are doing and some demos, but these guys are OccupyTheLand visionaries tapped into devs all over the world and needed a test bed (Sonoran Desert perfect - Lots of Solar Power with almost no obstructions between mountain peaks). We'll get an affiliate cut of sales but getting all of this development and labor for FREE has a lot of value as well, so we will be pimping their communication packages... as well as that freeing the planet thing :)
Justin can't make it down but has been fully kept in the loop and will be able to duplicate the capabilities with the info we are sending him.
With a proof of concept realized and detailed we'll likely heavy launch OccupyTheLand in March (Beware the Ides of March). This is when we'll have a really good convergence of many things happening that we have been multi-tasking and see what ripples we can make in the Liberty Community and freedom in general... again :)
(A 'Grandma Just Button', a low cost & effectiveness is required for wide adoption... here we go :)
John is coming from Canada and an Outerr.net guy is coming from the UK to set up.
I have the electrical power system for the Relay on the mountain and it'll run on our power here at LoveBus and at Bob's.
Bob will be the broadcast hub for his area/valley and I'll do this side of the desert and this system allows for a plug and play expansion for more capabilities.
The directional antenna is all Bob needs - $80
The whole system is run off any Smartphone/Laptop with a WiFi connection.
The relay on mountain is 120 deg. broadcast so that'll cover the 3 valleys and Bob and I will be broadcasting nodes.
The idea is to use this demo as a promotion for hardware Outerr.net is having built in Poland to facilitate this sort of communication. My insistence is that we just need text to send IPFS hashes, crypto addresses, links and text etc. This brought the price and complication way down and looks like connecting to a WiFi'd antenna is all that is needed (we'll see). Buuut, this system is capable of much more bandwidth and our OTL demo will bring out the competition along with all of the "we can do better/you're doing it wrong" trolls and 'negative wavers'... GOOD :) "Controversy Creates Awareness"
