The focus is on delay-tolerant networking also known as sneakernet to enable message exchange even in remote places or during crisis events. It builds upon other open-source projects and lets researchers focus on the application use-cases themselves, not having to worry about building a peer-to-peer infrastructure again and again. Furthermore, it aims at incorporating many different commodity hardware platforms such as smartphones, Raspberry Pis, ESP32 microcontrollers, various LoRa transceivers etc.
Buschfunk Project wants to provide free and open-source solutions to serve as a foundation for communication technology in challenged environments.
