Serval & Village Telco Mesh Technology on TV
The show I filmed with The New Inventors has just gone to air.
I think you can get part of the show online from:
There were some good shots of a battery powered MP1.2, and very
positive reception by the judging panel.
If you are in Australia you can watch it on iview.
re: ip address & phone number allocation
I know that on the Robin-Mesh project they convert the MAC address of the
hardware into the IP address used on the network.
Maybe you guys should do that? It would save you all from manually having to
set an IP & phone number for each device.
I've modified the code a little, so that it would provide a phone number as
Getting started
I've been lurking for a while - trying to get my head around
everything. I am a team member of the New Zealand Red Cross IT&T ERU,
and we're interested in these technologies as one of the solutions we
might be able to use to rapidly deploy telecommunication capability
after a disaster has ravaged existing infrastructure.
Atheros SoC and LED mappings
We've been successfully implementing OpenWRT on the EAP-3660.

They both contain Ateros SoC chips:
ath_ahb: wifi0: Atheros 2315 WiSoC: mem=0xb0000000, irq=3
It seems that although the M36 has extra features out of the box, the

link metric for VoIP over Mesh
I was installing a new VT node in the Bo-kaap community on the weekend
and ran into some anomalies in using the batman link metric as a link
quality indicator. More than once I found that even when batmand -cd1
was showing a strong (230-254) link connection, I was unable to ssh
without huge lag into a device only a hop or two away. Has anyone
New version of Afrimesh
I thought you might want to see the fruits of Antoine's hard labour
with Afrimesh over the last few months. The new version (.954) sports
a much cleaner and more intuitive interface as well as Village Telco
customisations that enable Afrimesh to recognise a new Mesh Potato on
the network and prompt the administrator to configure it. You can see

Village Telco news coverage
I spoke at an event called Tech4Africa on Thursday last week which was
particularly well-covered by the press. The press coverage was of
pretty variable accuracy but there was plenty of it. :-)

Matt replied to James BonTempo's discussion 'Why build FrontlineSMS:Learn?' in the group Education
I've always felt that Frontline SMS would make a great resource for educators. I can think of a lot of great applications that tap in to the inherent capabilities of low bandwidth technologies like SMS. My initial idea is that a centrally located g…

kiwanja replied to Andrew Thomas's discussion 'Who sells GSM modems in Cambodia?'
Hi Andrew I'd recommend going into the "Members" section of the community and searching for "Cambodia". There are about 15 people there and you could send one or two a message directly if no-one picks up your post here. Ken

kiwanja commented on AMWATAH PAUL's blog post 'IS THERE A MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SMS'
Hi Paul 1. You can send as many SMS as you like, as long as you have the credit to pay for them on the modem. 2. If FrontlineSMS has to read a large number of incoming SMS then it may slow down sending a little, but this shouldn't be too much. 3.…
