<p>It's a grid-based WiFi network. There are several successful
models around. <br>
</p>
<p>One of them is: One key person gets a fat internet pipe, then
distributes it to neighbors. Several access points allow
multiple SSIDs, as in one for each household/entity distributing
it. <br>
</p>
<p>There's another that uses the unlicensed 900MHz band, where the
electronics are about $200/node ($100 per side). For safety, and
if it's sane to do, someone puts a UPS onto the main tap to keep
things going if it's DSL; if cable, then it may or may not stay
up in the event of power outages., and if satellite dish, it can
be made grid-autonomous with a couple of solar panels + two deep
cell batteries + inverter. <br>
</p>
<p>Lots of ways to do them..... and there's one not far away from
where I live.</p>
<p>Ham radio people also can use AREDN, which uses Channel 1 of
WiFi/802.11 in 802.11g mode to make metropolitan nets, which is
where the M in MiFi comes from (also "M" as in "m"esh). <br>
