MeshDynamics Internet of Things (IoT) initiatives are in partnership with the US Military agencies and our commercial OEM licensees. Our embedded software runs on OpenWRT and MAC80211. Network processors supported, include Intel, Cavium, MIPS. OEM Customer applications, running on the routers, support real time, secure, M2M Machine control. Kernel level applications provide real time translation and encapsulation of Native Machine protocols and their transmitters (e.g. LED remote). MeshDynamics routers thus support low power IoT "chirp" devices, see "Rethinking the Internet Of Things". [Slides] [Jolt Award] Author Francis daCosta, previously founded Advanced Cybernetics Group, providing robot control system software for mission critical applications, including both local and supervisory real time M2M control. At MITRE, he served as an advisor to the United States Air Force Robotics and Automation Center of Excellence (RACE). Francis also held senior technical positions at Northrop Grumman, Ingersoll-Rand, Xerox. He has a MS from Stanford University and BS from Indian Institute of Technology.

MeshDynamics has been developing an Open Source Platform for DTN for US Navy and
US DOE. DTN Mesh Nodes support User Space Application Layer in OpenWRT for
deep packet inspection, SDN based routing, Video, IFTTT rules. etc. DTN nodes provide
autonomous, robust machine control with no assurance of internet connectivity.
