WIth 24dB dish antennas you can easily set up a line of sight WiFi link with a maximum length of about 10 miles / 16 km. After that distance the timing starts to be an issue. If you use an omnidirectional for the access point and a dish on the client end you can easily support a lot of long distance links in a star topology.

I still use it. From 1988 we had a worldwide network of Nodes and bulletin boards. Access was via a AEA PK88 TNC for me, hooked to a Alinco DJ120 handheld on 2m in to a diamond x50 aerial. I used a dumb terminal on it at first, then I got a PC in 1994 and run the G8BPQ node and F6FBB software as a mailbox and to read bulletin messages. Quite a good system. I later got a Kenwood TH42E and replaced the x50 with a V2000, then using a duplexer I had 70cm and 2m node and updated the PC. That's when we were using 1200baud over the radio. Better software arrived and we could use sound cards as interfaces with radios. I also tried TPK software which was rubbish compared to WinPack. Things progressed to 9k6 but radios hard to modify so it failed. The network still exists now. HF was always at 300baud and really interesting to use.

Amateurs used their callsigns @the local BBS. For example, in the UK G6XXX@GB7XXX. All routing set up by Nodes and BBSs. I regularly node hopped from the NW UK to WA2NDV. There were also what were known as TCP/IP BBSs, slightly different and s lot slower to use. There was one run by a very questionable person in the NW. Definitely not the sort of person you wanted near your children.

So, when the "Zombie apocalypse" happens (And by "Zombie apocalypse" I mean ANY full on breakdown of society/infrastructure, so, natural disaster, prolonged violent civil unrest, full on invasion, etc) all it takes is ONE person to have downloaded this, and the software can be propagated out purely by that person telling the software to offer copies of itself wirelessly to anyone who wants it? Interesting idea. In theory, you wouldn't even need to install it. You could just put a copy of the APK file on your phones memory card and leave it there until a time where it may become handy to use. It would be nice if each device it was running on could also work as a relay node to create a mesh network (I can't see anything on the Sideband web page to say if it CAN do this, but I'd think if it did have would this feature they'd mention prominently on the page). I could see that being useful for any group of people who wanted local area communication even in areas without any form of phone or data connection. For example, a large group of friends exploring the shopping area of a town could all stay in contact with each other over quite large distances as long as there wasn't an excessively large gap between any two links within the data chain.

What we REALLY need when SHTF is a system that you can turn on (Wifi or a 4G server) and anyone connecting would automatically see a webpage that tells them how to install the necessary app to communicate with you and others. The chance that ANYONE else has installed sideband when all Internet goes down for a long time in the range of my wifi (and I live in Amsterdam) is near to zero. The chance that anyone would see my public-wifi (which runs on batteries/solar and is not connected to the grid) is 100x bigger. Now I just need an easy way for people in the neighborhood to exchange messages with each other through the wifi- (or LoRa-) service that I offer.

@@prepcommsuk (From Perplexity) The likelihood of an EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) being used in a first strike scenario for World War 3 are considered to be significant. An EMP attack is seen as a potential trigger for a nuclear war, making its occurrence a grave concern. The impact of an EMP attack, especially in the context of a nuclear conflict, is widely regarded as catastrophic and could lead to the escalation of global tensions and conflicts[1][2][3]. Experts suggest that an EMP attack on the US could potentially mark the beginning of World War 3, highlighting the severe implications such an event could have on international relations and security[3]. The potential for an EMP apocalypse, particularly in the aftermath of conflicts like the Ukraine war, raises serious concerns about the use of such technology and its implications for global stability[4]. Given the gravity of the situation and the potential consequences associated with an EMP attack, it is crucial to consider preparedness measures and strategies to enhance survival odds in case of such a catastrophic event[5].

How about a solar powered loud hailer ? For SHTF think I will stick to Meshtastic 😊

Range is big bottleneck, I think meshtastic is way better. These wifi ideas are old and doesn’t work

I think both have their merits...long range wifi for high bandwidth applications and LoRa for messaging.

You have to think about a massive commercial plant that has complete wifi coverage via their LAN. An app like this will let people direct text in all areas of the plant without using imsg or some msg app that requires internet. One I do work at has over 2 miles of network wifi coverage, and zero cell service in most areas.
