Easy Mesh Networking?
PacketHop is supposedly launching their easy mesh networking solution, that is designed to extend current networks, no matter what wireless technology they use. The article is woefully short on details as to how it plans to do this, but I'm sure details will be coming soon enough. There have been a bunch of other attempts at mesh networking, and every few months another startup comes along. It's not that the technology doesn't sound useful, but it never seems to get much traction.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
