How It Works: The GEN Community Model
Lola GEN is built on the idea that communication is strongest when it starts locally and expands outward.
The network is designed around communities.
250+ members form what is known as a GEN Star Community. Within this community:
- Members can communicate locally
- Information can be shared and accessed within the group
- Local infrastructure supports connectivity even when global systems are unavailable
These communities become building blocks.
As more communities form:
- They connect with one another
- They create regional layers
- They contribute to a broader global communication network
Even outside of a formal community, individual members can:
- Carry a device capable of multiple communication methods globally
- Connect to other communities while traveling
- Communicate directly with nearby devices when needed
At its simplest level, each device functions like a professional-grade two-way radio.
At its most advanced, it becomes part of a layered global communication system and a portable data center.
This creates a network that is:
- Local when it needs to be
- Global when it can be
- Independent when it must be
