A Replacement For Cb's?


Recommended Posts

"This software allows you to easily make private phone calls, send secure text messages and share files in caves, in subways, in the Outback, in Australia or Africa, in Europe or the United States -- even when cellular networks fail or are unavailable."

I came across this and installed it, works for Android phones only at the minute and it did pop up a request for superuser access, but as I understand it you don't need your device to be Rooted.
If you run the software, anyone can connect to your "wifi" and download the software from you and spread and build the network.

It's designed for disaster zones and what not, but there's no reason it won't work in the Gatta for example.
They are even making a low cost wifi range extender device and the networks can mesh together for longer distance communication.

It's quite possible that we could build a range extended and install it on top of the phone home hill with a cellular connection and then use it to call home from the valley floor.
(Or we could appreciate being in the bush completely disconnected from the modern world as we should be...)
