We should be prepared if there is another internet blackout. To communicate during an internet blackout, we can use Bridgefy, this was also used during the Ukrainian and Russian war
Bridgefy creates a mesh network, relaying messages through other users to extend communication range beyond direct Bluetooth connections.
* Connect to the internet (But only for the first time you use the app)
* Once done, all you need to do is turn " ON " Bluetooth on your smartphone device (Android and iPhone)
* Now, close the app completely
* Then, you can turn off your internet and open the app to enjoy its services.
* However, for this app to work right, your friends and family must have the application too or the messages would not be sent because the application uses Bluetooth and not SMS or the internet.
* This will only work if there is a Bridgefy user within a 330 feet or 100 meter range. That’s why it’s important for everyone to install this app. by doing that we can create a mesh network
