GM. Just doing a bit of repair on my daily carry. Our local community has been hard at work building a Meshtastic network across the city, and it's growing fast! With tons of devices in the mesh and a new MQTT server, we're now connecting cities across the state into one massive mesh! Exciting times ahead! #meshtastic #mesh #decentralize #arkansas #hackers #hacktheplanet #hackthefort https://m.primal.net/KzNQ.jpg
How are y’all setting up the mesh network across the city? A bunch of solar nodes on telephone poles?
Multiple things. Onboarding a ton of people, pitching businesses to host nodes on their property, and going full guerrilla mode with weatherproof, solar-powered nodes mounted with magnets onto high up places with steel.
Would love to see the build y’all use for these deployments. Having a mesh network in Houston using this approach would be awesome. 🔥🤙🏻 Well done for going after this in your city
I’ll try to push some out. Pics/Resources
Where in Arkansas is the running? Where can I findore info on implementing?
MQTT connecting meshes in Fort Smith, Fayetteville, and Little Rock.
