R.O.B.IN (Routing Olsr and Batman INside) is an Open-Source mesh network project, deployed on top of OpenWRT Kamikaze, and able to run on any Atheros AP51 routers such as the Accton MR3201A, Meraki Mini* or La Fonera* and using the B.A.T.M.A.N. or OLSR routing algorithm.
ROBIN spreads a wired internet connection such as ADSL throughout an apartment complex, neighborhood, village or school, and works on a variety of commonly available, low-cost hardware.
ROBIN is being developed by Antonio Anselmi & Cody Cooper.
Hardware
ROBIN firmware needs to be installed on compatible hardware. Currently pre-installed routers are supplied from
open-mesh.com
* Note: Installing ROBIN on Meraki Mini or La Fonera routers may violate the terms and conditions of that device.
