Problem
Many rural and underserved areas lack reliable internet access due to the high costs associated with traditional wired infrastructure deployment. Existing wireless solutions often suffer from significant throughput loss over multiple hops, limiting their effectiveness in extending coverage.
Solution
Mesh++ provides a solution for extending internet access to areas where traditional wired connections are not feasible. Their self-powered routers utilize a patented distributed TDMA protocol to create efficient mesh networks, minimizing throughput loss to only 15% per hop. This technology enables fast, automatic connections, blanketing large areas with internet access without the need for extensive cabling. The routers feature integrated 5G backhaul and ruggedized casings, making them suitable for diverse deployment scenarios, including rural broadband, public spaces, industrial environments, and disaster relief.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes ISPs and WISPs looking to expand internet access to rural areas, municipalities seeking to provide public WiFi, and organizations requiring reliable connectivity in industrial or disaster-stricken environments.
