Die Fähigkeit aus technologischen “Resten” etwas funktionierendes Neues zu improvisieren, ist im 21. Jahrhundert wichtiger denn je zuvor. Fastcompany stellt FabFi vor: eine Technologie, die es Internet auch entlegene Regionen bringen kann. Als Beispiel dient der Norden Afghanistan: Afghanistan’s Amazing DIY Internet
The technology used to create FabFi networks seems like it leaped out of an episode of MacGyver. Commercial wireless routers are mounted on homemade RF reflectors covered with a metallic mesh surface. Another router-on-a-reflector is set up at a distance; the two routers then create an ad-hoc network that provides Internet access to a whole network of reflectors. The number of reflectors which can be integrated into the network is theoretically endless; FabFi’s network covers most of Jalalabad.
The reflectors can be built out of wood, metal, plastics, stone, clay, or any other locally available product that the metallic mesh can be attached to.
