Endorsers of the Wireless Battle of the Mesh v6

Here you'll find a list of the communities endorsing the battlemesh. Come back often to check it out!

B.A.T.M.A.N.

B.A.T.M.A.N. (better approach to mobile ad-hoc networking) is a routing protocol for multi-hop ad-hoc mesh networks. Most of the development now focuses on the open source implementation B.A.T.M.A.N. advanced (often referenced as batman-adv), an implementation of the B.A.T.M.A.N. routing protocol in form of a linux kernel module operating on layer 2.

OLSR

OLSR.org is one of the oldest and still - of course - the best mesh routing protocol for community wireless networks

On a more serious note: OLSR.org was the choice of protocols for most community wireless networks which started in the years 2002. Since then it has matured from a diploma thesis to a rock solid, highly portable link state mesh routing protocol. There are different variants of OLSR, some used by the military (NRL-OLSR and descendants) , some by academia (OLSR.org) and community wireless networks and of course - the commotion project. In the last years, the focus was on redesigning a lot of the internals, working on the OLSR v2 new protocol variant, and bug squashing for the stable version (OLSR v1 protocol). In every routing protocol, features are nice, but stability wins.

Ninux.org

Ninux.org is an italian community network that aims to create a decentralized, community-led, wireless network in the Italian peninsula.

More and more cities are joining the network and this year we have many news to present at the event!

AlterMundi

AlterMundi is an organization that aims for the emergence of a new paradigm based on freedom built from collaboration among peers. We explore different manifestations of these peer-to-peer alternatives and in particular we do a great deal of work in relation to Wireless Community Networks.

We have developed a WCN model that we call MiniMaxi. It is based on very low-cost, multi-radio mesh nodes and the AlterMesh firmware, which automatically configures the mesh network. The firmware can be customized using a web tool we call the Chef. We also provide tunnel broker service for community networks that don't have native IPv6 connection.

Many network projects in South America are beginning to adopt the tools we have developed. We are eager to share our experience and to learn a lot from all of you!
