WZRDnet is a low-power wireless ad-hoc mesh network that provides voice and data communications without existing infrastructure (i.e. no cell towers or satellites required). The network consists of lightweight handsets which function both as repeaters and communications devices. WZRDnet's packet switched architecture allows handsets to connect to any external network. WZRDnet is an ideal solution for the military, first responders, mining, oil & gas, etc. For more information on the WZRDnet click here.

WZRDnet was purchased by the US Army and tested by the US Navy and US Marine Corps. WZRDnet was selected by NASA as one of only ten wireless technologies included in their Innovation Ecosystem.

WZRDnet in Global Defence Review

Global Defence Review's Summer 2012 issue includes an article by Eric Sharret, Vice President of Business Development at TELEGRID. The article, A Holistic Approach to Smartphone Networking on the Battlefield, makes the case for a unified approach to handset and network design. By making network architecture native to the handset it is possible to remove reliance on external infrastructure (i.e., cellular towers). "This reflects the changing military communications landscape, which has been shifting to short term limited engagements which make deployment of an infrastructure unrealistic."

TELEGRID's WZRDnet is an example of a holistic approach to network and handset design. By employing mesh networking and making the handset both a relay and a communication device it is possible to develop Real Time Direction Finding Applications. With WZRDnet team members can send their GPS coordinates to a team leader for free instead of relying on expensive satellite uplinks.
