Browser to Browser Radio communication for Internet Access : [Radio + Addon]

Welcome!

A System for ease of Individual Internet access and circumventing Individual censorship!

Design Status Production AUR Contributing Progress Roadmap Gitter

Vision :

To design a system for ease of Individual Internet access and circumventing Individual censorship while working with open communities.

Statement:

Establishing the Radio communication between two or more systems by establishing communication between two or more open browsers within the Radio frequency range with the helpful combination of GNU radio-Software Defined Radio(SDR software + RF Hardware) with Firefox web browser addon.

  • Problem:

      • When user is refused for Internet connection(Wireless/Wired).
      • When Specific user is censored to access Web.
  • The Objectives and Implementations of This project includes:

      • Establishing the Radio communication between two or more systems by establishing communication between two or more [open browsers] systems within the Radiofrequency range.
      • This is by integrating (Firefox) browser with GNU radio -and SDR Hardware. Taking the advantage of developing and implementing [Firefox] addon(s).
      • Taking the advantage of complete Open policy implementation.

System Design Implementation: HERE

Advantages:

A System/Device which is censored(refused internet connection) to access Web, can Privately access Web:

    • This helps in communicating with nearby systems(having Internet access) within the radio frequency range when your(or someones) Internet service Provider refused to provide user based internet and/or when there is individual user defined Censorship for accesing Web.
    • Need no direct internet access(or WiFi network) for two or more system communication within the range.
    • Increases the anonymity and privacy of the user by Hiding the true (IP) address of Orginating system.
    • Avoiding the internal censorship while connecting to other systems for accessing the Internet.

What feature, release, or product can others work on during the program ?

Contributions are welcome in each and every area of the project: Issues and Contributing Guidelines

  • Cryptographical integration with GNu Radio
  • Firefox integration with GNU radio.
  • Developing browser add-ons for the above implementation.
  • Proposing the Universal open policy recommendations for community involvement and implementation of this project.
