Wireless connectivity is significantly underutilized in warfighting, a result of poor performance, inherent limitations, poor security, and high-power needs of centralized networks and closed standards. We are developing edge-based, decentralized wireless technology, and select hardware, to address single point of failure reliability, resiliency, and security. Our SaaS and hardware leverage Bluetooth MESH, an open wireless network standard upon which we build decentralized device to device networks, without the need for any centralized connectivity. Further advancing state of the art, these decentralized networks are the first to provide portability, scalability, auto-configuration, and interoperability, all in support of known and needed, next generation applications. Our commercial applications range from pedestrian and vehicular monitoring for smart cities, and event managers looking to understand attendee flow and engagement, to first responders arriving on scene with their own, portable decentralized communication network, and energy companies looking to secure, track and monitor assets Mesh networks can provide much needed connectivity across vast deck expanses and levels. “Smart bases” would be improved in terms of security, reliability, interoperability and scale. Secure, resilient, portable wireless transmission of telemetry for vehicles, et al, can avoid breaches, improve speed and mission success.
