Specific topics:
1. MIMO and beamforming have a dramatic impact on the radio layer. What’s possible in next generation mesh nodes, what needs to be developed, can we leverage mass market technology?
2. New RF technology changes the focus for mesh networking protocols. How do we have to adapt mesh routing and mesh management software?
3. The Freemium model implies specific commitments to “premium” users who underwrite the free service. What service layer software is needed?
4. Is there a sustainable business model? Can it operate without depending on grants? Can it be started without VC funds?
Early work suggests the hurdles can be overcome - proposed business model is plausible. Explore - join us!
