We build hybrid networks, which share web connections through a neighborhood to spread the reach of a broadband connection. Most community members have client antennas and wireless routers—known as “nodes”—mounted on a rooftop or balcony, that links with other nodes, forming a network. Our network joins a "Supernode" to an Internet Exchange Point (IXP), an internet gateway, that is connected to commercial or municipal fiber for data backhaul. By consolidating the data to wholesale fiber connections, we can reduce the cost of the overall network by ensuring we are only paying for data our subscribers are using.
