Key Activities of the project
Strategic
Three year technology roadmapp
A three year road mapping exercise has been completed and published on the wiki.
This workshop established what we have achieved, where we have come from and our vision. The vision is to make a significant contribution to connecting 450 million people sustainably in rural Africa through wireless mesh and other technology with a community grown philosophy. Three product offerings together with the development of their feature sets over a three year period were developed.
- Africa mesh node (Multi radio node with customized hardware and specialized firmware)
- DIY mesh kit (Low cost single radio node available off the shelf with specialized firmware)
- WISP in a box (A custom OS distribution which allows users to establish a wireless ISP business)
