Lugro-Mesh
LUGRo-Mesh is a project being developed by LUGRo, the Free Software Users Group of Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina. (Lugro stands for its Spanish name: Grupo de Usuarios de Software Libre de Rosario). The project aims to provide free Internet access to the inhabitants of Rosario and its surrounding areas. It uses redundancy and is entirely developed on free software.[1]
As its name implies, it is based on using wireless LAN Mesh networking topology as it is one of the best ways to deploy a Wi-Fi network in a city with tall buildings, where redundancy and rapid deployment are essential.
Nightwing
To achieve the project using low-cost hardware, a firmware based on OpenWrt and called Nightwing[2] has been developed. It allows for rapidly deployable wireless mesh networks with minimal human intervention. Using B.A.T.M.A.N. (a routing protocol compatible with this firmware), Nightwing enables network growth through the simple addition of equipment.
It uses WiFiDog[3] as a Captive Portal and OpenDNS for content filtering.[4]
