Mesh network for Machines

Meshmerize is a mobile Ad-hoc mesh network software specifically designed for low-latency, reliable machine-type communication. Instead of relying on single wireless links between the base stations and the devices, Meshmerize uses a decentralized device-to-device communication to strengthen the network from the inside.

Feature-rich mesh network stack for moving machines

Meshmerize is purpose-built to ensure reliable and low-latency communication between machines, robots, vehicles, and people, even in constantly changing environments.

CIRCUMVENTING DARK ZONES

Meshmerize easily overcomes radio shadows by relaying messages through all nodes, thus seamlessly maintaining network connections without the need to physically eliminate the obstacles.

SEAMLESS ROAMING

All devices can connect not only with the APs but also with each other. This gives the devices the superpower to stay connected at all times by creating newer connections well before the old ones fade away.

PURELY SOFTWARE SOLUTION

Meshmerize is hardware-independent, giving one the freedom to choose any commercial off-the-shelf device that suits their needs in a diverse range of industrial and robotic applications.

TRULY WIRELESS NETWORK EXPANSION

No expensive cabling with Meshmerize. Simply power up an access point running Meshmerize and watch it connect wirelessly to existing network, enabling quick and easy expansion.

HIGH SCALABILITY

The innovative multi-path routing algorithm allows hundreds of devices to participate in a single mesh network, making it ideal for large-scale operations. Prioritizing high reliability, even under heavy use.

PRIORITIZED TRAFFIC

Meshmerize allows transporting different data types with varying priorities, using multipath routing for redundancy. For instance, it prioritizes control signals over video feeds, ensuring reliability despite signal drops.

OPTIMIZED BROADCASTING

Efficient and reliable broadcast messaging system allows for quick communication of important information, making it an ideal tool for sending safety beacons and other time-sensitive messages throughout the network.

HIVE - MESH MANAGEMENT

Hive, a comprehensive web-based tool manages Meshmerize networks and handles tasks like network visualization, configuration, and troubleshooting,  allowing you to concentrate on what truly matters.

Reliable networks don’t have to be a luxury

5G systems build a single, expensive, but ultra-high reliable link between the device and the base station. Meshmerize, on the other hand, combines multiple pre-existing inexpensive unreliable links to build a resilient and dependable network – analogous to weaving a bunch of threads into a strong rope.

Under the hood

The core of Meshmerize is our mesh networking software that can be installed and integrated into most Linux-based systems, including OpenWRT. It exposes itself as a virtual ethernet device and is entirely transparent to the applications using them. This enables Meshmerize to transport well beyond standard IP (TCP/UDP) traffic. Many industrial protocols such as Modbus and Profinet can be reliably transported over Meshmerize networks wirelessly. To the applications, Meshmerize behaves as if all the network nodes are connected to a single Layer 2 switch, but physically distributed all over the place.

Beyond just WiFi networks

Meshmerize can leverage existing ethernet backbone networks networks for high-throughput networks. It simply finds the best network route between two nodes – whether that is through the mesh directly or ethernet or even 4G/5G networks.

Meshmerize is also fully integrated with the IEEE802.11p (v2x) hardware to enable reliable low-latency multi-hop v2v mesh networks.
