possibly long distance mesh networking used with IoT devices is also 
an interesting topic, come to think of it - so I'm looking forward to 
any opportunity to learn about it as well :-)





Awesome - exactly! And I have gaps on what you're talking about because 
when I talk about mesh in my head I am usually thinking about low 
bandwidth and switches and sensor readings and suchlike :)


Something else playing in here that I know little about is 5G and where 
NB-IoT fits in at the low bandwidth end of that specification and what 
fits at the high bandwidth / low latency end.


I have been talking to people about the 5G future in which we deploy 
containers into data-cubes based at the edge of the 5G network into the 
cell hardware itself. Would love to understand this in more depth.


Was vaguely wondering if I could get somebody in for IoT Liverpool when 
that restarts. Maybe we could consider some kind of joint event?


Lots to talk about it seems!

Cheers,

Alex

Hi everybody - yes I would love to chat with everybody about mesh some 
time and bounce ideas around. I have done a lot of 2.4GHz 802.15.4 based 
mesh (e.g. PopNet) and am keen to get back into sub GHz mesh over LoRa 
in the future.


Unfortunately I have a commitment with the kids for upcoming wednesdays 
in the near future but am hoping to be able to catch up some time :)))

Hello all,

Just a quick note to let you know our next LUG meeting is coming up 
next week. Weds Nov 3rd from 7pm onwards.


We'll be in DOES Liverpool as usual. Directions and more info can be 
found on our blog and there's a post about the meeting here - 
https://livlug.org.uk/2021/10/november-2021-meeting/


There's no talk planned or any agenda this time. We had mooted a 
discussion on mesh networking last time but unfortunately Alex can't 
make it. If you'd like to suggest one or ask for something please feel 
free to do so. Otherwise we'll have our usual social meeting with 
plenty of chat on all kinds of topics.


Hope to see many of you there on Wednesday, best wishes,

Dan

P.S - If you have any questions or queries about the meeting feel free 
to email me :)
