Community Mesh Network Project pdf. - Marvin VE3VCG - 2021-03-09

Attached you'll find a pdf file which is a companion to the power point presented On Tuesday March 9, 2021. The document contains links to many resources. Following those links will allow you to gain a better understanding of the technology involved in creating a community based cell phone mesh-network.

If you are a builder there is a lot of excellent information about projects like Meshtastic, which used the LoRa platform. You can learn about how other people are building Community Mesh Networks in a variety of places including Toronto. While Mesh Nets might not seem like area of interest for HAM's such is not the case.  All these technologies use RF and are in fact very engaging for those with an interest in antenna's, propagation, and very long haul transmission and reception using low power devices.

There is no end of potential uses for LoRa technology. It is the foundation of the Internet of Things IoT, and is being rapidly developed for some very exciting projects.

Also on the pdf are some very interesting and exciting uses of Mesh Networks by a California Group called Land Ops.
