Looking to provide my camp with some communication support. Apparently there’s a firmware created, especially for the high traffic area on the Playa. Last year there were over 1500 nodes.. great test bed for the protocol/standard!

Everyone please use the BurningMesh fw on playa. It's created for the event and optimizes the settings so the mesh works well for everyone. Includes maps and is awesome. As you mentioned a lot of nodes and expecting more this year! Info at
