I’ve tried using mesh network wifi to extend internet in rural areas. The problem is that the trees (in my area) are full of water and absorb 2Ghz microwave radio. So the range is very limited.
I was thinking on order to give each “node” a unique name, you could have a GPS chuip in each router that would determine it’s own name by it’s physical location and every so many oof them would be designated as a “primary node” based off of location.
Basically it would be a noded type of internet that would be immune to government shutdown and cheap enough to make/power via solar panel that it could be distributed out, maybe as a bonus make it EMP proof...
Think of it as a wireless internet grid with two channels, one for the grid and one for people to tap into and use...
Based off some of the cheap routers I have seen this could be done cheaply in a few years where the elctronics could be boiled down to a few chips and use long duration lead acid batteries to provide service during night/cloudy days.
Hmm, this could be a way to circumvent gov internt control...
I would make the base backbone IPV6 as it would be easily able to handle the address problems...
Maybe have a model that can interface with HAM radio....
I will have to think about this....
