Turn-key Mesh Routing Access Point

Posted by timothy on from the click-and-run dept.

IPSection writes "LocustWorld announces the release of MeshAP-05. This is a test release of a bootable CD which turns a single board computer or laptop into a mesh node and access point. Clients can sign on to the network, cells communicate to form a robust, dynamic, compressed and encrypted mesh network. This is a prototype release intended for the widest possible test. Feedback is encouraged." There are several interesting things on this site, actually -- check out the Swarm Chip.

    This couldn't have any practical use, considering it uses its own bootable OS, uses a strange new form of network, and is generally incompatible with everything.

    It is just a test of theory, and Slashdot has done more harm to its use by posting it on the front page and obliterating all bandwidth from the site.
