- **Event Description**: Jump into the world of mesh radio and learn how to set up your own local, off-grid messaging network -- no cellular or internet required!About this EventWorkshop: Introduction to Mesh RadioThis workshop is a short, hands-on introduction to decentralized radio communication, held outdoors. In a small group setting (max 10 participants), we'll use real radios to build a simple mesh network, and watch how messages move from device to device. We'll learn the basics of setting up repeaters in useful locations, enabling participants to begin to develop resilient, secure communications networks in their own neighborhoods (and beyond).What We'll ExploreWhat mesh radio is and how it differs from cellular and Wi-FiHow messages hop between radios in a mesh networkThe role of antennas, placement, and terrainWorking with affordable hardwareReal-world use cases: farms, neighborhoods, events, field work, and protestsApplicationsFarm monitoring - Track conditions across large properties without cellular coverageGrid-down communications - Maintain text messaging when power and internet are unavailableRemote sensing - Monitor water levels, temperature, and other conditions in areas without infrastructureCommunity networks - Build neighborhood communication systems independent of commercial infrastructureYou'll Leave WithA clear mental model of how mesh networks functionExperience sending messages across a live meshPractical insight into deploying radios in the fieldBetter questions about range, reliability, and powerTips on which hardware to buy for various needs, including lower-cost open source hardware optionsInstructorsMike Beach is an Electrical Engineer with experience designing and debugging electro-optical and analog systems. He has held low-noise analog design classes for IEEE, co-taught a robotic design course based on a hybrid Raspberry Pi/Arduino platform at Artisan's Asylum, and is an active participant and mentor at Circuit Hacking night held at the Asylum every Wednesday.Don Blair is a researcher, educator, and tinkerer with a background in physics and philosophy. He has built off-grid systems for remote monitoring, and enjoys exploring ways of helping folks to gain greater control over the technologies on which they depend.
