Neighbors Leaning on Neighbors

Turning Your City's
"Virtual Dark Fiber" Into Light

Every home has a Gigabit modem, yet we only use 10%. By pledging 1% of this capacity, we create a resilient backbone that survives even when major ISPs fail.

1. City Hosted First

Access to City Hall, Schools, and Hospital databases runs on the mesh at 1Gbps+ speeds, fully independent of ISPs.

2. Secure & Local

Encryption is Mandatory. We utilize "Civic Interconnect" to keep local traffic local.

3. Resilient Failover

Dynamic Load Balancing. If your ISP fails, the mesh automatically routes you to a neighbor who has spare capacity.

Real-Time Logic

Traffic Flow Simulation

Compare traditional fragility vs. distributed mesh resilience.

How It Works

Core, Distribution, & Edge

The architecture begins at City Hall (Core), distributing capacity via high-performance bridges to Barangays (Distribution). From there, it fans out to Schools and Communities (Edge) via daisy-chained links.

Governance & MOA

City: Provides Backbone & Bandwidth.
Barangay: Security & Power.
Private: Right-of-Way.

Strategic Value

Use Cases & Initiatives

Extreme Resilience

Mobile Mesh Units deployed to disaster zones, pointing to nearest surviving nodes to re-establish the grid instantly.

Civic Coordination

City Hall hosts high-bandwidth streaming channels for emergency announcements directly on the mesh, bypassing internet congestion.

Digital Sovereignty

Hosting open-source social platforms (Friendica, Minds) and automated government services securely within the city.

Education (PeerTube)

Hosting training videos and exams locally. Students access heavy content via mesh without straining the City's ISP bill.

Edge Expansion

Meshtastic & LoRaWAN

For the 10% of areas where Fiber or 5GHz Wi-Fi cannot reach, we use LoRa radio.

  • Extreme Range: Up to 300km Line-of-Sight.
  • Low Power: Runs for days on solar/battery.
