Are you ready for a Cyber Attack?
Internet and Cell Phone networks already go down all the time, what if next time it was intentional?
How it Works
Every user that joins the mesh, increases the range of the mesh. Each person is both a sender and receiver. When you send a message, it will get resent from each person you are connected to and each of those people will also resend it. This allows a message to make it across the entire city even when you are using a small antenna.
