What does an Internet communication app that have to do with a mesh radio protocol?
- petra303 6mo agoRicochet was a mesh internet provider.
- myself248 6mo agoMetricom Ricochet used dual-band radios, operating in 900MHz and 2.4GHz, to form a routable mesh that delivered internet access and other services, in 1999.
- stavros 6mo agoAh, thanks, I didn't find any reference to that from a search (found a messaging app).
- hedgehog 6mo agoThey used repeaters on street lights as part of the infrastructure, and even after the company went belly up people were able to use the repeaters for private networks. Pretty slick for the mid 90s.
