Pervasive tide

Few folks, at least outside of Sun, understand how pervasively successful the Java platform, and the community supporting it, have been over the past decade. But Java runs on more devices than Microsoft Windows, Linux, Solaris, Symbian and the Mac combined. Nearly 4 billion devices at this point, from smart cards to consumer devices, DVD players to set top boxes, medical equipment, all the way up into the majority of the world's transactional systems and 8 out of every 10 cellphones sold. The Java platform is, already, a global standard.

Private mesh network in your home

PCs and laptops can extend each other in a daisy chain (sort of) to make a communication link to the Internet.

Unlike traditional WiFi networks (consisting of clients communicating with centralized access points), all devices extend the reach of the network by relaying traffic from device to another.

MeshDriver provides self-organizing, self-healing networking functionality in a free easy-to-install software package for end-users and system integrators. Meshcom MeshDriver utilizes devices that you already have, and no new hardware is needed! With Meshcom MeshDriver the users are able to:

• Create community networks for sharing internet connections and local information without the need to invest in infrastructure.
• Expand the network and take part in communications by just installing the software.
• Create/Expand/Replace network infrastructures without need for configuration at a very low cost and a fast rollout speed.
• Build new applications for dynamic and mobile environments!
