JMJ Tech Portable Mesh Network John Hunter Matthew Burge Jorge Barros Agenda ● Our Vision for the project ● Components of our project ● The Mesh ● Proxmox ● Security ● Use-cases ● Budget ● Accomplishments ● References Our vision ● ● ● Create a way for people to access the internet from remote or undeveloped areas. • Provide operating systems to any kind of device. • Provide Virtual machines to allow any operating system a wide array of devices. • “Rugged” software to protect systems from users. Use cheap or free software and hardware. Easy for almost anyone to use. Components of our project. ● Primary server ● “Proxmox” server ● Wireless router ● Low end computers What is a mesh? ● ● ● Also called a “ad-hoc” network Allows a internet to form without a “backbone” This technology is becoming more and more common. Why use a mesh ● ● ● Open source software. Useable with almost any hardware. As long as one node has internet they all do. Proxmox ● ● ● Proxmox is a easy to use virtual machine server. Allows most computers to use any kind of OS. Completely free Security ● ● The entire system had to be secured not only against Malware and malusers but also against users who simply do not know any better. Vms also have to be protected so users cannot “escape” Use-cases ● ● ● At a school to teach kids about different operating systems or programming Allows poor or isolated areas to access the internet or use public VMs or computers. Travel to different areas and bring computers and operating systems.
