In the markets that we're going for neither FirefoxOS nor iOS (which we in theory could mesh with) likely has enough marketplace that we'd get the required density. That said, it's a cool feature. I'd love to see both a peer-to-peer communication solution on top of this, as well as a meshed-internet-connection for this. / Jonas On Thu, Mar 27, 2014 at 1:51 PM, Dietrich Ayala <[email protected]> wrote: > One of the biggest problems in the markets that Firefox OS has shipped is > connectivity - it's usually some combination of rare, slow, unreliable and > expensive. > > Now that we're looking at shipping millions of extremely low-cost smartphones > to larger markets with similar conditions, these problems will likely > increase before they get better. > > Should we look to mesh networking to fill this gap? > > Someone in the Serval project drafted some ideas on integrating their mesh > network approach into Firefox OS: > > http://developer.servalproject.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=content:tech:serval_mesh_for_firefoxos > _______________________________________________ > dev-b2g mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g _______________________________________________ dev-b2g mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g
