However, for that to work, the phones need to be rooted and not have other silly road-blocks to peer-to-peer communications in place. That is why we have been working on the Mesh Extenders. Phones + mesh extenders = functioning network, with no central gear at all. All devices self-allocate network addresses and all protocols are fully distributed. Of course, we haven't tested it at scale, and expect substantial work to make it scale to thousands (or even hundreds) of devices. But for us the first step is getting it working at the small scale, and then work our way up from there.<br /><br />Paul.Paul Gardner-Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150903760695355706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9068638994894102968.post-55113008189168350912013-07-14T04:21:29.679-07:002013-07-14T04:21:29.679-07:00We used a prototype mesh extender only -- didn'...We used a prototype mesh extender only -- didn't root them or try ad-hoc mode. <br />As they are Android 2.3, and similar hardware to the U8180 they should do adhoc fine if rooted, but we simply haven't tried.Paul Gardner-Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150903760695355706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9068638994894102968.post-20319620186493335102013-07-13T23:32:30.036-07:002013-07-13T23:32:30.036-07:00Hi Paul,

One question - did you get Ad-Hoc mode to work on these devices, or are you running Serval via an AP in infrastructure mode?<br />changamirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09755502005724758206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9068638994894102968.post-31534202194311978982013-07-13T09:50:20.376-07:002013-07-13T09:50:20.376-07:00Still not exactly clear how Serval works...is any ...Still not exactly clear how Serval works...is any central hardware required, or does it just need to be running? Does it Just Work™ right out of the box if you fire it up on a couple devices? Would be handy for places like Oklacon, which has a few thousand people trying to communicate without phone service...Baloo Urizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15344200303777861645noreply@blogger.com
