Internet should get viewed as a utility and should be accessible to all!

Usually people talk about the dark side of the internet, it nice to see the people who do the good work on the internet.

The ironic thing about all this is the inspiration is derivative of community internet & intranets in 3rd world countries like Cuba. Props to Ubiquiti and the IT nerds.

This solution could work as a backup for natural disaster occurrences when wifi is down and no communication is possible through traditional means

I want to add Starlink with back up power redundancy. Communication is essential during natural disaster and wars

Wow they show TP link, like they are a typical isp... When TP link has competing hardware that allows you to create a mesh as well like this one. 😅.... Think they are sponsored by ubiquity.

We use a combination of Mikrotik and Ubiquiti equipment
