Eric, From what I can gather from their website, this is Point to Point routing architecture in which every device acts as a router. This is designed for RF Optimization and is supposed to be spectrally efficient. This was developed several years ago by the military for wireless battlefield applications. It was designed for pinpointing troop locations on the battlefield and similarly to Arpanet; Multi-path Optimization. BBN Technologies did a lot of work on this stuff years ago for the Government. The problem that was never solved is if you end up the only router/device between two or more communicating devices, they run your battery down communicating to each other, because you are their sole router. Maximum distance is around 5 miles between routers/devices. I am under NDA with another company that wants to commercialize the technology. However, they visualize it as a metropolitan technology and they don't plan on competing as a cellular operator. Kent
