WasabiNet mesh in St. Louis appeared on local TV news!

KSDK, a local TV station, recorded this interview with Minerva and myself in May about our OLSR-based wifi mesh in St. Louis, MO USA.  They finally aired it earlier this month, in anticipation of Google announcing their plans for 1Gbit fiber deployments in this country later this year.

The WasabiNet KSDK video from 10/14 is now on Youtube!

I will be gradually posting this link everywhere I can, but feel free to share it yourselves!

(P.S. Yes, I did have some caffeine that day.)

Re: WasabiNet mesh in St. Louis appeared on local TV news!

hi ben, very cool, congratulations for you great community wireless project.
how many nodes are in the olsr cloud?
i saw in the news, you are running ubnt hardware, so if you use olsr, you are using openwrt on it?
just yesterday we (some freifunker) finished working on a modified bootloader for the nanostation 2 and bullet 2 to have a bootwait to get access to the bootloader for upgrading firmware
no more reset button pressing on rooftops for upgrading!
good luck for your fiber uplink,
cheers

Re: WasabiNet mesh in St. Louis appeared on local TV news!

Hi Ulf,


We are using the (OpenWRt-based, with OLSR) ROBIN firmware available from open-mesh.com ron all 2.4GHz devices.  We do this since the OM dashboard is really handy  The access points are Open Mesh OM1Ps, a couple Ubiquiti Bullet2HPs, a Nanostation2, and a large smattering of Engenuis EOC-1650 and EOC-2160 for cost reasons.  

There are about 4 active nodes right now, out of 49 provisioned.  Most nodes just use the integrated antenna or 7dB dipoles, although there are now a couple cantennas in place.

Pictures:

I am happy to hear that reflashing the small Ubiquitis is getting easier.  I've actually had some limited success doing on-the-fly firmware upgrades on the Bullet2HP with the ROBIN firmware, tho I have to SSH into the device and trigger an upgrade manually.

Ben,

equinox in Graz did some work to get OLSR support into the Ubiquiti AirOS and even integrate OLSR configuration with the AirOS UI...

Congratulations, Ben! Nice video/coverage. 
I liked the tie-in to Google ;)

To add to this - this allows us to use the very cool AirView Spectrum Analyzer scanner which is part of AirOS.
The downside of course is that not everything is 100% open source here.
Well, mostly FOSS at least.

Another sidenote: at the wireless summit in the hacklab we found out that the speed test of AirOS was done from within a kernel module, so... the speed that you get on user space will differ from this of course.

Thanks equinox (Christian)  :)

Best,
a.

Re: WasabiNet mesh in St. Louis appeared on local TV news!

problem is that AirOS does not support adhoc/ahdemo mode, at least the
latest v5.2.1.
We maybe have to wait for 5.3 ?
