Main > Software > Wireless mesh networking
The mandate of the HyperMesh project is to provide a means of cheaply and easily distributing bandwidth and telephony services throughout a community.
The specifications must be identified:
- Multiple Input, Multiple Output
- Opportunistic mesh networking
- Ethernet, wireless, and broadband connectivity
- 3G/4G compatible
- VoIP
- Price point per unit of less than $50, less than $20 is preferred.
Outside resiliency is desired.
- PSU - A Power Supply Unit that would provide sufficient power to all the component parts.
- PPE - Primary Processing Element, a Central Processing Unit. RAM and long-term storage requests are offloaded to the network via the *BIONOS - Basic Input Output Networking Operating System, includes support for 802.3, 802.11 s/g/(n/b are optional), and IMT-2000. If need be, it would interface with the network to access a higher level operating system.
- 8P8C - A plastic connector (8 position, 8 conductors) for physically interfacing with the HyperMesh device (used often in 10Base-T and up Ethernet networks).
Configuration, diagnosis and monitoring (SNMP) would take place via Ethernet or through Wireless connection in order to acheive maximum availability. DSCP (previously knowned as QoS or ToS) has to be supported to guarantee reliable VoIP.

- PSU - A Power Supply Unit that would provide sufficient power to all the component parts.
- PPE - Primary Processing Element, a Central Processing Unit.
- I/O - A USB and 8P8C connector for basic interface with the device. USB is optional. The device could be accessed and configured using any physical or wireless connection.
- RAM - enough to operate quickly and efficiently even under high stress.
- SSD - Flash memory for long-term storage and for firmware upgrades. Enough for the OS plus firmware upgrades. Might be optional if firmware can be upgraded and OS can be retrieved using any physical or wireless connection.
- NET - Controller for 802.3, 802.11g and 802.11s (a/b/n are optional), and IMT-2000. Might be incorporated into the BIOS.
