2. The Club’s Mission
To develop civic non-commercial wireless
networks and share knowledge and experience
for communities.
3. What is “mesh network”?
– It is decentralized wireless network with dynamic
architecture, where every node can have different
roles, and the network infrastructure is in its
creators possession.
4. Why does the Falanster deal with it?
– Today Net (i.e. Internet) is very centralized.
– The situation allows to control and censor civic
information and communication as by providers
(ISP) as by states.
– We understand necessity that the network
infrastructure is in users’ ownership.
– It enforces and fosters different communities and
keep their freedoms.
