Mesh networking allows for a number of people to share one internet connection wirelessly, using nothing more than open source software, common routers, and simple antennas – infrastructure that anyone can easily acquire, develop, and modify. In this video, one example is presented, that of the ACTS clinic in the Peebles Valley, South Africa. While the initial rationale for the network was to connect a clinic to a hospital wirelessly to allow for voice over internet protocol (VOIP) phones (as there were no landline connections at the time), connectivity was also provided to surrounding areas, with often unexpected results.
