105<h2>Overview</h2>
106<p>The mesh network provides a local TCP/IP network for all connected users. It is like a highway leading around the region. Services are like the places you visit and allow you to do useful things which support emergency communications: file transfer and document storage, chat, telephony, network monitoring, mapping, and situational awareness.</p>
107<p>Some services are available by simply clicking a link on the mesh status web page, and others run as servers such as a NTP time server.&nbsp;Other services may be accessed through client installed apps. We use mostly open source and free software; some software has been written by our mesh users.</p>
108<p>An advantage of the mesh system is that these <em>services are distributed</em> throughout the regional coverage area. This offers the advantage of redundancy in the event of a network disruption, such as a local power failure.&nbsp;For example, we have several different installations of the MeshMap (see <a href="../../meshmap/">link</a> above) installed on different devices operated by users in Linn, Marion, and Yamhill Counties.</p>
109<p>WiFi access can be provided to users of the mesh network to Part 15 Computers, Tablets, and Phones at a deployment site.</p>
110<p>The <a href="https://arednmesh.readthedocs.io/en/latest/arednServicesGuide/services_overview.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AREDN documentation</a> has a good section describing services, and gives examples of services that have been deployed by users of the AREDN mesh network.</p>
