About the Project
We want to provide free and open-source solutions to serve as a foundation for communication technology in challenged environments. The focus is on delay-tolerant networking also known as sneakernet to enable message exchange even in remote places or during crisis events.
Who are we
The Buschfunk Project is a research project from the emergenCITY Research Center in Germany. We are mainly based at the Technical University of Darmstadt. Our goal is to provide resilient communication solutions for future cities (and other places) in various disaster scenarios.
