Kako koristeći otvoreni hardver i wifi mesh mreže spasiti živote ljudima u kriznim situacijama / Using open hardware and mesh networking to save lives

Summary

Volunteers from Otvorena mreža community lead by Valent Turkovic during the refugee crisis managed to provide internet connectivity to people in need as well as to connect field teams from biggest NGOs like Greenpeace and Red Cross to their HQ, because their attempts to do so failed. During that effort idea of completely different way of rebuilding communication during disaster response was born, and a new kind of device; completely autonomous, open source and open hardware drop in solution called MeshPoint.
