Community Networks & Mesh Connectivity
Bottom-up, cooperative infrastructure built and operated by local communities.
Decentralized wireless mesh networks using WiFi, LoRa, and TV white space, deployed by cooperatives and NGOs in underserved regions of Latin America, Africa, and Asia. They provide affordable last-mile connectivity, local content hosting, and digital sovereignty where commercial operators won't invest.
