Practical Application of Mesh Opportunistic Networks

Opportunistic networks allow for communication between nearby mobile devices through a radio connection, avoiding the need cellular data coverage or Wi-Fi connection. The limited spatial range of this type can be overcome by using nodes in mesh network. purpose research was to examine commercial application electronic without plan, Wi-Fi, satellite. A mixed study, with qualitative and quantitative strategies, designed. An experimental session, which participants tested opportunistic developing different tasks performance, carried out system. Different complementary approaches were adopted: survey, focus group, an analysis participants’ performance. We found that main advantage is lack use one-to-one group communications. integrated into professional workflows. They used situations where traditional telephones Internet are compromised, such as at mass events, emergency situations, presence frequency inhibitors.
