Technology

This stuff is wild. I saw a video a few months ago where they used this tech to build devices that could push to talk (via a mumble server hosted on the mesh network) do live geo location, live video feeds, across multiple devices.

A team of people could build a mesh network that provides all those comms and situational and tactical information with consumer hardware for like $100 and it's all off grid and the more devices you add the more resilient and reliable the network becomes.

Here's the video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ofR7GFNZzJY

Lots of interesting applications for this stuff.

This thing has been on my backlog of things to tinker with for two years now. It's to radio what the internet was for telephony. I think the current situation with anti-ICE organisation's software being blocked is proof that this is useful. Really cheap too, for dollar-havers.
