The human being should occupy the centre-stage. Our time is rich in technical possibilities. But these are not a priori a blessing. The technical means of communication are impressive, but have their side effects. Our motivation is to develop a possible alternative.

• Ownership / property
  Currently, the use of telecommunication, internet and mobile telephony is paid for by the user. What happens to the data during the communication and afterwards is not verifiable for the user and also cannot be influenced (for example censorship, creation of movement profiles, etc.)
  We see the possibility of only purchasing the communication equipment and incurring one-time costs, after which the use for communication incurs no further costs. The network is the property of the users. The open source documentation and programming creates transparency and allows an evaluation of the system.
• Energy - Autonomy
  Today's digital communication and data processing requires a lot of energy. It is not possible without the power grid.
  Our system is self-sufficient, as long as there is enough solar radiation.
• Structure
  Telecommunication and the Internet have a star-shaped structure. To send an email to a neighbour it can be that the information is passed around the globe (depending on where the mail servers are located).
  In the mesh structure of our network, a direct path is chosen. The failure of communication nodes can be compensated by neighbouring nodes.
• Radiation exposure
  The development of mobile communication is aimed at achieving a high data throughput. This is achieved by a higher frequency (2.4 GHz) or a targeted alignment (5G).
  Compared to this, our network has a much lower data rate, lower frequency and energy density.
