OTHERNET - Free Data Anywhere - For everyone! 

We need peer-to-peer network, which is the future for a Free and open internet! #DecentralizeTheWeb

Thank you for showing us the content limitations of this system.

A built in full encyclopedia, almanac & more scientific /biological/ tech related wiki articles would make something like this a lot more useful I know they could do this, in 1993 we could get an entire encyclopedia on a CD with 400MB to spare

I have the previous version of the board. I live in eastern North Carolina in the USA. I can point my LNB at about 50 degrees and get the signal. It really does work.

I enjoyed that, a service I was not aware of.

Wow In a few youers we can all post pictures -If your speed is more than 20kb and you live in USA! Great future in this project!

excellent vid... I've been sniffing these for years. GNU radio can also be used with almost any SDR receiver. My personal favorite being any of the excellent knockoffs of HackRF from Asia:)

Great stuff Matt. Just downloaded your APRS app. Keep the channel great work mate.

Okay, this is very cool! Never heard of the othernet before - thanks for the edumacation!

Great idea. I would take three but I am skint.

love it..... you just keep surprising us Matt

the dish is a off set dish not oval so if uk is restricted why not motorise the dsih with a hh mount thats a motorised mount that tracks the arc where the sattelites sit-you could opt for a mount nthat will find geo stationary sattelites but for what ye need for i cant see the point...use a universal lnb that does horizontal vertical left anf right-now yer could source a old skool bskyb squarial or micro dish as they have lnbs that are either left or right so if it was left an yer wanted right yer simlply turn the lenb to its side on its mount-now a motor dish looking at your garden tells me yer never ever going to get far west and east sattelites so from where the dish in the vids pointing im assuming 28east or 19 east? so looking from there i recon yer could go 33 east maybe 42 east - maybe 27 west - 45 west-if the dish was up a height this could give access to one or two more as the trees are in the way just....this will give yer access to shed loads of sattelites on the arc some are only for live news feeeds my two best live feeds were death of dianna spencer and colonel gaddafi getting dragged down the street but ivce seen these links for internet al over many diff sattelies...thats on Ku band only so get yer hands on a old betting shop dish these are the ones with the lnb in the middle of the dish these are rpime focus dishes so buy a cheap c band lnb and a disec switch so two or more dishes can share one cable to the reciever or n yor case pc........with c band some of the far west statliets are barzilain oreinteated so theres yer speed upted i recon...downside to cband yer need a bigger dish as the signals are weak as kittens yer could go to 3mter dishes and bigger-but a 1.2 meter dish for either ku or starter kit for cband will be a bonus to what yer doing-try using a installed not live linux disto see what that brings up as linux used to make all the sft ware for satt recivers and such-some linux comes with ham radio pre installed etc

Thanks for bringing this.

Looks like a great beginning. I've read good stuff about it all. Excellent time to invest in the indevor. 😀 📷☕☕

You cover some very interesting stuff. Thanks

OUTNET Hello from Earth!

Yes i understand - this is for recieving only at this point however satelite internet will eventually be both

Is othernet still operational? See the kits for pretty cheap and considering having as a backup.

APRS support, nice

Can you use this to watch youtube and other movies? Also, does this have a translator from whatever to English? Can this system be used on a sailboat to keep in touch with whoever for safety and board dome? Please answer these question for me.

Great video as we are used to see 👍. Still my question is: Is there a method to receive outernet without the dreamcatcher board? Maybe Raspberry Pi or SDR Uno or the dreamcatcher image in virtual maschine? Since we can receive QO-100 I think it is possible to receive outernet. Thanks

What kind of privacy do you get with this network? Do you think it could be used for a SHTF type scenario to communicate and receive news without having to use a government registered service?

Thanks man ! Something new to play with lol 73 de ve3hip

If I’m in United States do I need an L band patch Antenna or do I need a ku band Satellite ? Unfortunately I don’t have a satolight

Hi i went to the website to purchase but it looks like the system is down at the moment, is that the case for you?

Now that is a cool name. I love it.

New Zealand ia at a latitude that is too low to use the current OtherNet system. Will OtherNet be extending the system to my part of the world?

Thanks for the video

So that what happen to them, but it might be a bit to late for them, thanks to StarLink and rival's.

So is it for free or not ? ? ? ? Just have to buy the equipment? Or do i have to pay something on monthly base ? Or is it payed by data volume ?

my god that taskbar man!

I ordered a receiver som years ago. Small black USB box. Shipped from US with USPS. Had to pay import tax. Broke down since there was no short circuit protection for the LNB voltage. Fixed it and ran it for a few months. Then lightning took out both the receiver and my raspberry pi. Fun but expensive experience - will not go down that path again.

This is a very good video.

This is interesting but I would be more interested in shortwave and other long range terrestrial broadcasting to bring data to people. Satellite broadcasting leaves things centralized in the hands of corporations.

Sounds great! Hope it will work! Does anibody used it already?

I live in Hawaii. Can I connect via satellite? Only the 49 states and the EU? I downloaded this video just in case. I'm a journeyman electrician and I've been asking myself this question for a few years

Where can I get that earth with satellites in orbit wallpaper ?

That is just too cool! Thanks.

I have earlier version. Just ordered new setup.

Great stuff, so i take it there is no encryption or security protocol.

So is there enough bandwidth to upload a video on othernet? Sounds like data rate to slow

According to maps it covers like 1% of Earth. Lol, anywhere

thanks matt keep the good work ;-)

Anyone else get a strange urge to switch to Gieco while listening to this guy?

Raspberry pie and a sky satellite dish. 👍

Would it work in any country?

It almost makes you wonder if its worth while to put a satellite in orbit and only have a 20 Kb stream. Not even KB, Kb, so 20/8 = 2.5 Kilobytes per second data rate. In Europe it would only be 1.25 Kilobytes per second. Then again, I'm just going to assume they are using the older satellites that are already up there in orbit and re-purposing the old equipment on it. It probably was only ever meant to provide a form of telemetry back down to earth, diagnostic logs, or something originally.

Where can you buy it ?

thank you so much for the valuable information. so much Arabic and Chinese content. I wonder why? lol

The weather app is just a web view of Earth Null School

the previous ones were global its strange that you mention just europe end usa :(

Excellent, is it available in Australia?

How ironic is that sat signal travel hundreds to thousands of miles but can pass through 12 feets of leafs xD

so is it only on apple devices like you have or all devices ?

This is the funniest video l've watched in a long time - it deserves to go viral 🤣

So this is free internet ? Is it still operational ?

There must be a way to hack the board and route the traffic to be able to use this as a real internet. 10Kbps is not that bad for checking emails in html format and other webpages.

What dish are you using? I like it.

To sad, that it is just a one way connection.

Wow this really neat. 59 dollars really inexpensive also I see it uses debian which is great for us weird linux users. I was hoping it wasn't just for windows. Does anyone know how secure this is?

....and right now, someone is devising a way to exploit this service for spam.

Are there any satellites for this service that cover South America?

Buy page does not exists on the site

Sold out.

What in the net? 😮😯😲

as it should have been from the start FREE

Seems to me that it's free data in the same sense a radio is: You get what you're given. Better than nothing in remote locations, but it not a useful communications medium unless it supports two-way conversations, which it doesn't. Pretty much useless to anyone who can watch this video. Now, a 10-20Kb freely and universally accessible internet, that would be something! Interesting all the same.

How can I get one Plz

VoOP? (VoIP but for Othernet)

Wanted to get this years ago but didn't have the money

Anything for South and Central America? Jesus bless you

or how can i chat with you?

10Kbps, so under a fifth of the speed of an old dial-up modem?

So......no access to Tinder?

... Responding to the title... Nothing is free

bought it, made it work !... worthless free data. at least computer/sdr unit can be repurposed so not total waste of money

Nice idea but I get enough media brainwashing content from OTA TV.

well i guess its dead now with starlink coming out soon

I dont like this kind of thing where you need to buy everything from the ( Dreamcatcher etc. ) and you cant just use RPi. Great idea ,bad in reality .

What's the point if they currate what you can have access to... free internet without freedom to choose what you want to browse... I'm gonna stick with my hotspot on mobile data...

Just a theory

Please Can i use this device in my country Ghana and get free setlite internet ?

This is cool but kinda gimmicky. It’s 20 years late and now broadband or LTE is so cheap and prevalent in the coverage areas of this satellite there isn’t much of an appeal.

How do I order one myself? 8P6RC

Shit's getting a bit swirly

its moderated so will be based on someone elses view points

Microwave yes. Satellites do not orbit a fake spinning ball globe satellites are actually attached to non orbiting hot air balloons which crash to the ground frequently. Do the research brother.

Lol this must be for tge end of the world, otherwise seems useless even if u have no net where u are.

Hi, tks. What is the price ? 73 QRO ON4BA

20 kilobit - END OF DISCUSSION.

please can it work in africa, i mean Nigeria?

Not so great for the Southern hemisphere then eh ?

This seems totally useless.

I see absolutely no.point in thisI see absolutely no.point in thisI see absolutely no.point in this🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🥴🔥💨

Poh

I see absolutely no.point in this. Only curated crap by Othernet business owners? No thanks

Of course everyone knows not to trust Wikipedia since anyone can edit and change it!!!!!
