Disaster Mesh is a small entity headed equally by Katelyn Dunn, Margaux Giles, and Karla Dana, that created the Disaster Mesh WiFi mesh network. The mesh network is connected by WiFi routers with solar panel chargers referred to as “seeds”. Each seed, is distributed by air drop within 30 meters. The seeds utilize the mesh network capabilities, and route devices to the Internet through the few seeds that also have a modem. The modem has a direct connect to the Internet, and supplies Internet to the rest of the seeds. Once connected, the user presses buttons to respond to questions regarding to their situation. The user's answer and GPS coordinates are collected and analyzed by Disaster Mesh. Disaster Mesh compiles the data into a map that contains information on the specific needs of the affected area. |
