When the apocalypse comes, these mesh networks might be the only way to communicate. We must have an alternate web that serves these networks.

Systems for email, notifications, etc.

Eh, no. You must be young. Email works perfectly on low bw conns. So does IRC, and Gopher.

Email’s fine for low-bandwidth, high-latency mesh wireless.

IRC and Gopher are not. The latency, and potential unreliability, would kill it.

If not, maybe icb uses less bw.

But, what will power it? Would each installation have a battery and solar panel? Maybe a good idea, small units should be installed, similar to those cheap night lights, if some fail ok, but enough for basic Comms.
