While the Internet of things is here to stay, and will kill us all, there are a few places left on the planet that will remain unscathed during the robot uprising. These underserved neighborhoods still have a need for communications and networking, leading [hlew] to create a community interaction fit together Network as an entry for The Hackaday Prize.
While there are many, numerous options available for DIY networking solutions available today, [hlew] is leaning on some work done by a few of [Bruce Land]’s trainees at Cornell. This project used easy and cheap nRF24 radio modules for a true fit together network with multi-node communication, dynamic route discovery, and dynamic route reconfiguration.
The CEMN will rely on this network to offer communications to underserved communities. The primary goal of this network is to broadcast information like crop reports and health advisories, but it can also be used for peer to peer communications between individuals.
