01 / Problem

What wasn't working.

Consumer routers at every building with different names and passwords. A phone menu nobody could change. Sites miles apart with no plan for linking them.

02 / Approach

What I built.

  1. 01

    Router agents report to the console. A live mesh map shows 6 units on a 5-minute tick.

  2. 02

    Bilingual phone tree drafted in the console and published to the phone provider. 32 nodes in about 10 minutes.

  3. 03

    Point-to-point link plan: 6 radios, links from 182 m to 5,031 m, checked against terrain and Fresnel clearance. About $940 in hardware.

  4. 04

    An API gateway with 165 operations for integrations and the company assistant.
