Self-organising wireless networks by PacketHop

A mobile mesh is a self-organizing wireless communications network in which every mobile device becomes a network router and can connect with other devices in the network. Mobile mesh networks configure themselves instantly and automatically and are inherently survivable because of the availability of alternate paths. Meshed devices can utilize when fixed infrastructure is available (e.g. 802.11 access points), which, however, is not required to create a mesh network.
