| This type of site is based on the idea that we will be serving open source apps in a centralised way, ones that are not compatible with LoRes. Although this site might *also* be a LoRes node, the fact that it serves important software (nextcloud, etc), means that if it is down, we lose access. In a sense, this is our local alternative to data-center use. | This type of site is based on the idea that we will be serving open source apps in a centralised way, ones that are not compatible with LoRes.

| + | * Room for a shoebox sized package | ||
| + | * Access to building wifi | ||
| + | * Access to power | ||
| + | * Occasional physical access | ||

| + | Additional desirable characteristics would be: | ||

| + | * Existing solar setup | ||
| + | * Ability to tinker with battery and off-grid setup | ||

| + | Stealth variant: | ||
| + | |||
| + | This is a variant of Pioneer Site where the entire enclosure is mounted in a secure, fireproof box outside of a venue such as a neighbourhood house. It could potentially also have it's own 5G model to avoid the need for wifi (although that creates ongoing cost). | ||
