Community Networks

Community Networks are decentralized, collaborative systems that enable local groups to build and manage their own communication and internet infrastructure. They often arise in areas where traditional internet services are limited or too expensive. These networks are created and maintained by community members who work together to share resources, knowledge, and skills. By leveraging technology, such as Wi-Fi and mesh networks, these communities can connect with each other and the broader internet. This empowerment fosters social connections, promotes digital inclusion, and supports local initiatives, ultimately enhancing the resilience and connectivity of the community.
