Ash HN: Mobile Mesh Networking Framework, what Would You Use It For?
* Automatically creates interoperable peer-to-peer mesh networks with nearby devices using any available transport channel (Bluetooth Low Energy, Bluetooth Classic, Wi-Fi Direct and Infrastructural wi-Fi) basing its decisions on real-time network metrics;
* Data multiplexing: intelligently fragments data into segments and sends them through different paths on the network and different transport channels, making connections faster, more secure and ensuring deliverability;
* Encrypts data and protects it against network attacks;
* Is power-sensitive, choosing transport channels that require less power whenever possible;
* Can have cloud integration, intelligently managing connections between local mesh networks and the internet (and can help offload local networks);
* Every different app is connected and helps building the same mesh network, but can't communicate with each other;
* Can be integrated into any existing app or project in a few minutes (and removed, in case you don't like it);
* It's free, but not open-source (at least right now).
* There's a iOS and Android version coming in the next weeks, and Windows 10 (mobile and desktop) coming in the future.
My question is, giving all these capabilities what use cases do you see for this type of technology? Right now there are apps testing the framework for messaging (the #1 use case that generally comes to everyone mind), real-time collaboration and file sharing, gaming, social networking, dating, and others using it to build mobile local networks.
