Part 5/10:
Unlike traditional providers relying on centralized infrastructure, NYC Mesh utilizes innovative mesh networking technology. This system employs "supernodes"—powered by fiber optics and strategically placed high in the city—to distribute internet signals to smaller local hubs and routers spread throughout neighborhoods.
Each "node," essentially a small antenna or dish, facilitates local Wi-Fi distribution and connects to the broader network. This decentralized approach makes installation more affordable and adaptable, creating resilient networks that can expand organically as community members participate.
