WasabiNet is developing the Sunflower Mesh, a new concept for solar-powered, self-sufficient, rooftop Wi-Fi mesh nodes. These nodes are designed to offer neighborhood-scale, hyper-local social collaboration applications, environmental sensing, and even limited Internet access, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Even when the electricity goes out.

We aim to present on this concept, and even having some working prototypes to ogle, as part of the New America Foundation's upcoming Internation Summit on Community Wireless Networks (IS4CWN) being held this October in Berlin, Germany!
