my house in West Oakland needs internet service, and so far the only options I
know of are DSL (sonic/LMI/AT&T same wires) or Comcast Cable.
I just called Unwired and got a quote from them, details pasted at the end of
this email because why not, but it's not a good fit.
My house happens to be meshing with two other houses right now, and it has a
tall enough roof that we could put more signals up there, so if the mesh
project wants to share a fatter pipe with my house we could certainly do that.
I just don't know who to call though.
I talked with LMI (a reseller of the same AT&T DSL lines) and they said that
Fiber is still anecdotally about 6 months out.
thank you

Unwired says it looks like they should be able to service us
$49.95/mo residential
bandwidth is 10Mbit down / 3Mbit up shared bandwidth, you can generally get
those speeds but they're not guaranteed. we carefully manage our
oversubscription rates. rates never go above those numbers.
16 down / 6 up for $89.95
22 down / 9 up $129.95
onetime charge for installation $100
equipment $162 purchase and you own it, ubiquiti 5AC M400 powerbeam
if you run the cable, we might be able to reduce the price of the installation,
but you can only use the equipment provided by us.
30-day satisfaction guarantee or we would refund all costs to you
if you wanted to rent equipment it would be $19.95/month but that would be dumb
hey y'all -
* For those contributing to PON Moz Grant *
I'd like to suggest to review your contributions and ideas in relevant
shared google doc by 11:59pm Friday 10 Nov 2017.
Then Jenny will lead consolidation of proposal leading up to a second
comment only review round on Monday leaving some time for preparing the
final draft for Tuesday evening.
During Tuesday 14 Nov 2017 sudo mesh meeting, I suggest we attempt to
reach consensus on the final proposal: you can block, dissent without
block or support the proposal.
The deadline is Wednesday 15 Nov 2017.
All this is a suggestion, so please speak up if you have a concern
about the time line.
Hope this helps,

I came across this software that will optimize a custom wifi antenna
depending on your floorplan and desired area of service, check out this
video. If it's not bunk science perhaps this would be a fun project for the
3D printer...

Hi Folks,
Here is a preliminary skeleton for localization via nearby BSSIDs.
Plenty of work left to be done, and I'm still trying to find a good way of
testing it, but I thought I'd throw this out there.

Hi everyone,
I'm Federico Capoano, some of you may know me for my involvement with
Ninux, NetJSON, OpenWISP and contribution to several editions of the
Google Summer of Code with Freifunk.
OpenWISP has been accepted into the Google Code-In:
https://codein.withgoogle.com/organizations/openwisp/
By participating in this program we hope to attract many new young
contributors in the world of open source networking, free wifi and
similar topics.
We aim at proposing easy tasks related to documentation, tutorials,
fixing small code issues, UX improvements and so on.
We are looking for mentors that share similar goals with us and want to
get involved, for those of you that are following the NetJSON
development or using some OpenWISP tool, this would be a good time to
start contributing!
We are also open to accept mentors that want to propose tasks that are
not directly related to NetJSON and OpenWISP, as long as they are aimed
at creating an ecosystem of interoperable tools for community networks,
free wifi and open source networking.
Important notes:
- we want mentors to take care of the tasks they propose
- please read the GCI rules, in particular section 2, 4 and 5:
https://developers.google.com/open-source/gci/resources/contest-rules
- take a look at the tasks proposals we are working on (we will export
this collaborative spreadsheet to CSV) and import it using the GCI API:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nNNN6Db8fS3KtijO9BJB2YHmMzU20OUBoFr…
If interested, please get in touch with us via our support channels
(IRC, mailing list, gitter) http://openwisp.org/support.html or reply in
private to me (in order to avoid cross-post hell).
Thank you for your attention!
Best regards

Hi,
We are starting a mesh in Paris and we are looking for hardware
recommendations. We have been looking at the Ubiquity devices so far. Do
you have any other brand to recommend ?
Which antennas/device would you recommend for the following scenarios
(each scenario being independent):
* Outdoor Long-range connection (>1km) between two devices with Line of
Sight
* Outdoor Area covering: one device (AP) at high altitude proving access
to multiple end-points in a square/park/building
What do you usually use the following for:
* Picostation
* NanoBean
* NanoStation
Have you ever played with the Unify Mesh hardware ?
Thank you,
Keoma
You have all probably already heard about the wifi KRACK attack. If not,
here is the lowdown:
https://www.krackattacks.com/
sudowrt is also affected. What this means is that your private wifi network
is... potentially a lot less private.
I started work on a fix here:
https://github.com/sudomesh/sudowrt-firmware/issues/109
but I ran into a build issue which maybe Grant knows how to fix?
https://github.com/sudomesh/sudowrt-firmware/issues/110
Hopefully we can sort this out over the next day or two.
In the mean time node-operates may want to disconnect any sensitive devices
from their private network. As always you should be using end-to-end
encryption for all communications. Install the HTTPS Everywhere
<https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere> browser extension if you haven't.
For situations where end-to-end encryption is not viable, using a VPN like
Mullvad <https://www.mullvad.net/> is a good idea.
