A reciprocal compact where Residences, Private Schools, Businesses, and LGUs all contribute 1% of their ISP bandwidth to a shared mesh.
Pasig City acts as the Trusted Mediator, ensuring fair play and connecting communities through public backbone infrastructure. Access to City Services is FREE and UNLIMITED over the mesh.
See how the network adapts. Even when connected to the ISP, the community stays linked to City Hall. When failures happen, the mesh activates.
A clear "Give and Get" structure. Local traffic is free; Internet sharing is capped.
The Contributors
1% Internet (Dynamic)
You share 1% of your ISP link. If you aren't using your bandwidth, you can share more, but you always get priority.
The Anchors
1% Internet + Roof
Sharing 1% of leased line + physical space for fiber drops to neighbors.
The Mediator
Public Hardware & Trust
Providing routers & fiber for Public Schools & Halls *only*. Mediating the trust network for everyone.
How do we separate "Free Local Traffic" from "Capped Internet"? We use intelligent routing rules.
Instead of a hard 1% cap, the router uses "Idle Bandwidth." If you aren't using your internet, neighbors can use it up to a safe limit. The moment you start downloading, they are instantly throttled down to 1% or 0%.
Traffic destined for 10.x.x.x (Pasig Services) is excluded from the 1% cap. It travels at full LAN speed (Gigabit) because it stays within the city mesh.

Pasig City maintains a fleet of rapidly deployable "Mesh in a Box" kits. These contain high-power nodes and Starlink uplinks to instantly re-establish the grid in hard-hit areas during floods or fires.
Partnering with high-rise condominiums and office towers to serve as "Vertical Repeaters." Their height allows high-gain antennas to bridge distant barangays, overcoming urban clutter.
