How can we keep communicating with one another when the internet and mobile networks fail due to a power outage or cyberattack? Waag is experimenting with mesh technology — a solution that allows you to send messages via radio waves without depending on a central server or mains power. This makes a mesh network resilient: even during an internet or power outage, you can keep sending messages. Or use it to communicate without Big Tech altogether.
Together with Jelle van der Ster and Christy Westhovens, we dive into the world of mesh technology and Reticulum, radio communication, and show you what is possible to become truly digitally autonomous. Power outage, demagogue, or other nonsense — we'll manage on our own.
