FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The OmniMesh Nanoscale Data Center is an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) model that does what data centers, 5G networks, and cell towers do; but it decentralizes these services out to the extreme edge of the network, right among end users’ devices.

OmniMesh customers deploy or extend their networks over an edge cloud of decentralized, autonomous OmniMesh powered nodes. OmniMesh-powered nodes are plug-and-play, like a smart TV or commodity wifi router. So end-users can access 5G services, even if they don’t have a direct link to a 5G tower.

OmniMesh complies with Amazon Web Services’ S3 standard, 3GPP, and open-source best practices for shared computing, storage, and spectrum allocation. It records transactions to any blockchain ledger of the customer’s choosing.

OmniMesh keeps backhaul-intensive traffic such as video consumption, video game data, and tower-edge spectrum allocation local instead of routing it up and down from the central cloud.

With less burden on backhaul, operators need less fiber, fewer backhoe rolls, and less tower infrastructure. The VDEC is less expensive to deploy and gives greater return on investment.

By reducing providers’ reliance on core network upgrades and centralized data center services to meet increasing consumer demands.

The OmniMesh solution integrates with AWS, but can also operate separately from AWS while providing lower cost and latency capabilities.

OmniMesh’s agile spectrum technology is the same used by the U.S. military for warfighters’ communications, and our blockchain solution creates a non-repudiable record of every transaction on the entire network.

All of them, even applications that don’t exist yet. Low-latency use cases (machine-to-machine communication, consumer video consumption, video gaming, psychoanalytic advertising, etc.) are particularly well suited.

The VDEC is scalable to any customer requirements. For example, in a video data use case, in a suburb with 5000 OmniMesh nodes distributed across homes and businesses, the customer can store up to 10 petabytes of data. That’s enough to store 110,000 movies at 4K resolution; 2 billion songs; or 47 billion books.

As fast as it needs to be. VDEC nodes orchestrate all nearby network resources, deliver data from the nearest possible node, and establish as many open channels and routing paths as needed to meet any application’s service level agreement requirements.

Most OmniMesh nodes’ range is equivalent to a regular household wifi router; with different antennas or outdoor installations, OmniMesh-powered nodes can provide VDEC services at ranges of 10 kilometers or more.

VDEC nodes autonomously deploy multiple strategies for latencies down to the 0ms-5ms range: retrieving data simultaneously from multiple locations; retrieving data from the closest nearby nodes; and using agile spectrum technology to maximize efficiency.

No. We are a software company with an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) solution. Our software runs on low-cost commodity hardware to make our customers’ networks more powerful, cost-effective, and profitable. In spectrum bands where sublicensing is legal, OmniMesh VDEC nodes make it possible for spectrum owners to resell lease their spectrum at a profit.

As demand for IaaS grows, the supply grows by distributing more low-cost nodes to end users’ premises. VDEC customers can also scale by adding and monetizing additional use cases on existing nodes.

OmniMesh nodes can deploy at the extreme edge of any network, past the tower edge, and provide 5G and future-G connectivity and low latency to any user on the network, whether or not they have a direct connection to a tower.

OmniMesh is a business-to-business platform. Our customers deploy OmniMesh nodes as standalone commodity hardware (like a router) or piggybacked as a dongle or chip bundled with their existing hardware (like set-top-boxes or antennas).

OmniMesh’s nodes can use any unlicensed or licensed spectrum, and they process and enforce current spectrum allocation policies locally at the node level.
