The Swedish company Terranet
has developed a revolutionary technology: mobile telephony P2P.L 'basic idea is to create a network of phones that are capable of operating themselves as a repeater signal: that is, are the nodes of a network . Each cell routing through the p2p philosophy of the signal to other devices on the same network. The maximum range is 2000 meters per device. Also with a PC with internet access this mobile network can 'interface with the outside world through dialogue tecnlogia low cost VOIP (like Skype).
The business model is to give everything free to the user by eliminating the fixed costs of interconnessione.L 'Chief Executive Officer Andrea Carlius has managed to fund the project for about $ 6 million from Ericsson and develop a prototype network in Tanzania.
The idea does not seem bad, existing constraints in terms of technology, however, are quite high, battery life, signal routing, security.
We'll see.
