1 Hardware

1.1 Power

1.1.1 Solar Panel

Solar panel allows you to extend your mesh network into areas without need of reliable power supply. Great for WiFi relay points on hill tops or roof tops to bridge WiFi communities on either side. It is also good for building mesh networks for rapid deployment in remote areas and in cases of power outage or disasters (like earthquakes).

An WiFi access point or Net2MAX Hub normally consumes less than 80Wh a day. A 20W solar panel having only 4 hours of sunlight a day will produces 80Wh enough to keep an access point going continuously. This figure assumes a 45Ah battery to store and release the energy when there is no sunlight.

1.1.2 Car Adapter

Meshing with mobile nodes is improving all the time. If you want to start playing around with a Mesh Node in your car then you will need a car charger.

This is 12V for car only. If you need 24V (for van or truck), please contact your Community Operator.


1.2 Network

1.2.1 VDSL2 Bridge

VDSL2 allows multiple Community Wireless Meshes to be bridged together to form a bigger mesh, using low cost telephone copper wiring at distances from 300 m (about 60Mbps) to 1 km (about 10Mbps).
