• 19:30, 31 July 2025 Vonetadmin talk contribs created page Volunteer Roles (Created page with "''VONet is a community-led project, and everything we build starts with volunteers. Whether you're technical, creative, organized, or just curious, there's a place for you to help.'' == Where We Are Now == VONet is in the early planning and pilot phase. We're working on forming partnerships, building our first rooftop nodes, and setting up core infrastructure. We’re also in the process of partnering with a fiscal sponsor to help manage backend administration, fundrais...")
• 19:29, 31 July 2025 Vonetadmin talk contribs created page Colocation & Internet Exchange (Created page with "''This page outlines the current concept and planning vision for VONet’s future colocation presence and community-run Internet Exchange Point (IXP). These systems are not yet deployed, but form a key part of our long-term infrastructure strategy.'' == Overview == As VONet grows, we plan to host a full equipment rack at a regional colocation facility. This rack will support core network functions, peering with other networks, and offer shared infrastructure for aligned...")
• 19:22, 31 July 2025 Vonetadmin talk contribs created page IP Addressing & Routing (Created page with "''This page outlines how VONet assigns IP addresses and handles routing across the mesh. The system follows the same principles used by NYC Mesh: each node is assigned a number, and that number is used to generate its internal IP address.'' == Overview == Each node in VONet gets a unique number (Node ID). This number is used to assign IP addresses in the 10.0.0.0/8 private address space. The format is: 10.NODEID.0.0/16 This makes addressing predictable, easy to mana...")
• 19:17, 31 July 2025 Vonetadmin talk contribs created page Network Topology Overview (Created page with "''This is a technical draft of how VONet’s network is structured. We’re building a citywide community mesh network using proven open networking tools like OSPF and BGP. This structure is inspired by NYC Mesh but tailored for Las Vegas infrastructure and needs.'' == Core Technologies == * OSPF is used for dynamic internal routing between mesh-connected devices * BGP is used for peering at the Internet Exchange Point and between core SuperNodes * Layer 2 bridging...")
• 19:05, 31 July 2025 Vonetadmin talk contribs created page Internet Uplink Guide (Created page with "''This is a draft guide for future uplink donors. Final technical steps will be added once pilot installs and testing are complete.'' == Overview == One of the most important ways to support VONet is by donating internet bandwidth. Uplinks provide a connection between the VONet mesh and the wider internet. If you have a reliable, high-speed connection and are willing to share some of your bandwidth, you can help bring access to neighbors who might not otherwise be conn...")
• 19:03, 31 July 2025 Vonetadmin talk contribs created page Recommended Equipment (Created page with "''This is a draft page. Final recommendations will be added as we complete pilot testing and confirm what works best in our network setup.'' == Overview == VONet will primarily use MikroTik equipment for building and expanding the network. MikroTik devices are reliable, cost-effective, and offer flexible configuration options for both wired and wireless setups. Some Ubiquiti gear may also be used where it fits specific needs. This page will eventually list specific mod...")
• 19:01, 31 July 2025 Vonetadmin talk contribs created page Hosting a Rooftop Node (Created page with "''This is a draft guide for future rooftop node hosts. Details will be added as the pilot network gets started and we begin field testing.'' == Overview == Hosting a rooftop node helps expand the VONet network. These nodes are small antennas or routers placed on a rooftop or other high spot. They connect to nearby nodes and help bring internet access to more people in your neighborhood. You don’t need to be technical to host. Volunteers will help with setup, and all...")
• 18:57, 31 July 2025 Vonetadmin talk contribs created page Node Setup (DIY) (Created page with "''This is a draft guide meant to show what a future DIY setup page might look like. Final steps and equipment will be added once the pilot is up and running.'' == Overview == This page will walk you through how to set up a VONet node on your own. A “node” is a small piece of equipment (like a rooftop antenna or router) that connects to other nodes and helps extend the community network. When this guide is complete, it’ll include real examples, equipment options,...")
