Building Pop-up Mesh Networks

The Open Technology Institute recently conducted a training on how to build pop-up mesh networks using Commotion. Our goal was to quickly deploy a flexible and mobile mesh network across several square blocks using portable battery-powered routers carried in backpacks. Commotion’s dynamic routing allows a network to shift and transform with the movements of the people, creating a highly resilient temporary infrastructure that can distribute Internet access throughout an area or support local area communications and data sharing.
