Mark and Team,
MOBILE MESH NETWORKING is the NEXT AREA to DISRUPT SOCIAL MEDIA NETWORKING
I always read and look for new opportunities to disrupt new markets. This is really interesting and could set StackIdeas Extensions apart from social media related extensions. With Facebook's popularity waning, the next segment to be disrupted is Off-Grid MobileMesh Social Networking. StackIdeas Extensions are ideal to disrupt this market opportunity.
There is an SDK to consider for goTenna.
goTenna creates distributed communication networks that increase scale, resiliency, and access.
Communications is the keystone of all fundamental facilities and systems, but today’s infrastructure must evolve in order to meet 21st century needs. At goTenna, we are working on advancing universal access to connectivity by decentralizing it.
goTenna builds next-generation wireless architectures to power bottom-up communications networks that get stronger as they grow. We focus on low-power, low-cost, modular mobile ad-hoc networking protocols and devices that are easy-to-use and developer-friendly. Our parallel networks are designed to both enable completely off-grid communication and augment traditional systems by extending the practical edge of connectivity.
gOTenna - The First wireless platform for Long-Range,Off-Grid MobileMesh Networking
Develop with the goTennaSDK and unlock your application's capabilities.
The goTenna SDK - Imagine this for EasySocial or Converse Kit?
Our kit provides the tools for building Android or iOS apps using goTenna Mesh or goTenna devices. Although our own app focuses on text messaging and GPS location sharing, think of goTenna as a platform you can use to explore unique applications that leverage goTenna to transmit bursts of secure data at long range, completely off-grid.
Plus, our game-changing Aspen Grove mesh protocol will privately and automatically route data packets through all other goTenna Mesh nodes.
Features
Comprised of completely free-form agnostic data with two simple rules:
236-byte maximum payload size
Five total transmissions allowed per end-user per minute.
Hosts open broadcast, 1:1 encrypted, and group encrypted messaging
Relays messages between goTenna Mesh nodes
Manages Bluetooth-LE data interface for iOS & Android
Reports on receipt failure for 1-to-1 messaging
Reports on goTenna battery life & firmware version
Manages firmware upgrades
Provides alerts and other diagnostic data as needed
I do hope you consider this opportunity. There are so many applications and the trend is for Private Social Networks as Facebook is losing its lustre for millennials and there is a huge opportunity to be first into a new market segment.
