* Objective
|
|
|
|
*Project28 *aims at creating a wide and sustainable decentralised
|
|
telecom infrastructure based primarily on WiFi (and possibly other types
|
|
of) mesh networking in Egypt
|
|
|
|
* Strategies
|
|
** Open
|
|
|
|
Open aims to removing all legal barriers standing in the way of a legal
|
|
Wifi mesh in Egypt.
|
|
|
|
** Protect
|
|
|
|
Protect aims at offering legal and other forms of empowerment to
|
|
individuals and groups exercising their lawful, but not yet legal,
|
|
rights to privacy, communication, and economic autonomy
|
|
|
|
** Construct
|
|
|
|
Construct aims at creating a dynamic that allows for the emergence of a
|
|
Wifi mesh
|
|
|
|
* Criteria for choosing hardware
|
|
|
|
- Works with OpenWRT (FreiFunk folks offered making OpenWRT work for the
|
|
most popular hardware in Egypt)
|
|
- Legally available (with original firmware) and affordable in Egypt

* Wireless operating system:
|
|
|
|
- Freifunk: Based on the OpenWRT, Frei-funk firmware brings easy OLSR
|
|
support to MIPS-based consumer access points, such as the Linksys
|
|
WRT54G / WRT54GS / WAP54G, Siemens SE505, and others. By simply
|
|
flashing one of these APs with the Freifunk firmware, you can rapidly
|
|
build a self-forming OLSR mesh. *Freifunk is not currently available
|
|
for x86 architecture machines (need to check that out).*
