Hi Warren and all,

 

All good news coming from your side, and lots of good news from Goa! After one month of wireless testing we (Kloschi, Daniel and Me) succeeded in building a fairly large village mesh of about 1X1 km under the coconut palm trees and a 1 shot through the the leaves from the gateway location on a high building at the main road. All this fun was taking place while not only being obstructed by the trees and smashed by the sun and heat but shortage of the right pigtails and the constant mysteriously disaparing of equipment. Maybe the last had more to do with the quantity of cold beers consumed ....

 

After having proven the working mesh we are getting requests for permanent instalations by long term staying foreigners and locals alike. Photo's of this will be posted soon, i hope.

 

I have been for a 4 day visit to the IIITM- Kerala institute on invitation by Prof. Venkatesh and met up with Rene and Hugo to deliver a 2 day workshop on meshing at the TechnoPark in Trivendrum. Also there is a 4 node demo mesh alive, and powered by Solar! After some research I found a solar panel manufactorer in Trivendrum and me and a student Sivchand

managed to get a solar panel set for free.
