Mesh networking meetup

A wireless mesh network is a communications network made up of radio nodes organized in a mesh topology. Wireless mesh networks consist of mesh clients, mesh routers and gateways. The mesh clients are often laptops, cell phones and other wireless devices while the mesh routers forward traffic to and from the gateways which connect to the Internet.

For example, ten neighbor households could share two DSL lines and a cable modem line over a mesh wireless network. Such a network could be started with a small investment and grown household by household.

This meetup is for folks who are interested in learning more about how mesh networks work and what hardware and open-source solutions are currently available for building a wireless mesh network.
