self building networks

[Iain McFadyen]

CoCo Communications seems to have a viable product in this domain, with Law 
Enforcement and military contracts...

They used to have an office in McLean, but moved to Laurel.

I'm not sure that's necessarily still the case. I looked at a lot of mesh 
networking approaches at one point and it was continually improving in the 
enterprise case. There are still hard challenges when it comes to route 
convergence/delivery and hidden transmitters but there are some systems on the 
market that can move some bits. In one sense, the mesh part can be another 
application over a variety of transport flavors. 


Market-wise, there are some challenges, which is why the few notable commercial 
ventures have been for specific vertical market applications, like video sharing 
from police cars, etc.
