One or more nodes will also serve as the Internet gateway for this local network. Some nodes will have interfaces that allow other devices to be plugged in to offer locally-hosted services on the network.
Network switch, router, and application server.The green dotted lines represent point-to-point links between nodes that together form the local mesh network.Įach node is an aggregate of multiple pieces of equipment, which may include: There is a larger 150 m radius circle around where devices may be able to connect. The diagram above is the area map, with preliminary positions of mesh nodes that together form the local mesh network.Įach node has a 100 m radius circle around it, representing the region where client devices are expected to form a good connection with the node’s access point. This section presents some of these early planning summaries to give an idea of our network during its planning stages. Many things about the network has changed since then as more information becomes available, such as the event areas, existing structures, number of participants, power availability, device availability, financial budgets, and results of technical discussions and experimentations. This section contains preliminary plans for the network design, when all the information we had was a satellite image of the potential venue for DWeb Camp 2019.
