WZRDnet^TM Low-Power Wireless Mesh Network

Military: In military applications WZRDnet brings the network to the tactical edge. It gives every soldier the ability to communicate using voice and text messages and pushes communications to the tip of the spear. The mesh architecture, where messages hop around obstructions, allows units to communicate in the field beyond line-of-sight. WZRDnet is digitally secure and has the capability of peer-to-peer communications. The WZRDnet Gateway allows connection to upper echelons through tactical wide area networks.

First Responders: In the wake of a disaster cell phone and satellite networks often become overloaded or damaged hampering rescue efforts. The current solution of using broadcast radios, where multiple conversations occur over the same channel, can lead to confusion at a time when a clear message is important. With WZRDnet you do not have to worry about infrastructure damage, coverage restraints, or getting information to the right person.  WZRDnet provides an “out of the box” communications network when it is needed the most.  Additionally, the WZRDgate allows communications to “hop” to remote access systems thereby increasing their range and utility.

Mining: Line-of-sight is a problem in underground tunnel networks with frequent bends and curves.  Current wired solutions are expensive and inflexible.  WZRDnet's mesh architecture allows voice and text communications around obstructions.  As a wireless network it can be easily moved and rapidly setup.  Additionally WZRDnet's frequency of 2.4GHz propagates more efficiently in tunnel environments and suffers less absorption meaning it can travel farther in a tunnel than VHF or UHF.

Oil & Gas: Drilling often occurs in austere environments with limited infrastructure (e.g., offshore, desert, etc.).  To communicate most companies resort to satellite phones, which have high usage costs, or two-way radios, which do not allow peer-to-peer communications.  The WZRDnet is the best of both worlds, allowing free peer-to-peer voice and text communications at the drill site and reach back to the WAN via the WZRDgate.  By employing the WZRDnet all users can share the same satellite uplink which reduces costs.

Healthcare: In hospitals the use of beepers is still pervasive. While this creates inefficiencies by forcing caretakers to waste time answering pages, fiscal restraint, including monthly cellular service costs, have forced hospitals to hold on to out of date technology. However with WZRDnet the network belongs to you so the calls and texts are free. Why waste time returning a page when you could be seeing more patients?
