This is a testament to the abject failure that is the wifi protocol and its popular implementations. Everything that needs to be done here would be possible with some simple wifi-based broadcast (like "ad-hoc" back in the days?) and the possibility for a phone to connect to multiple wifi networks at once. Not sure if this is for political or economic reasons, or just incompetence.
- MayeulC 5y agoWiFi Aware "NAN" and WiFi Direct "P2P" should help quite a bit. NAN specifically allows local broadcasts. One thing that's a bit sad is that better authentication (PEAP) isn't widely supoirted or easy to set up. Unfortunately, I've found it very hard to toy with Wi-Fi. I'm not sure older chipsets can implement these features.
