all those projects looks like utterly useless to me. Sorry about this, they are cool but there are some problems, like:
-in emergency, if communications go down is really likely for power to go down, too. If we have a 100 meters range in a place completely devoided of life, we have like 20 meters range in towns, that means we need everyone with power generators or their mobiles will run out of juice and you can say goodbye to the network.
-the wifi frequencies are not optimal for distance communications. What you would need to do for those in using something like Citizen's Band, that are free frequencies reserved for personal use. If we are able to get some decent bitrate on those frequencies, they will probably do much much better than common wifi. Ofc you need support in mobile's hardware.
