Community networks can help build smart cities by interconnecting and empowering the underserved and unconnected. However, communities often face financial and human resource constraints when building and maintaining such networks. We present a network architecture and some design principles aimed at addressing issues of sustainability and scaling in the face of such resource constraints. With our proposed approach however, component selection, qualification, and testing become additional tasks for the community. Programmability and network function virtualization may instead help address compatibility issues, promote resource pooling at the edge, and allow dynamic resource allocation.
