Just thought I'd throw this out there:
Overheard on IRC: ATCSECURE: "there is a new LTE update coming which XC will be leveraging for ad-hoc [physical] mesh networking via direct p2p."
What is LTE?
It's 4G for mobile phones.
P.S. Physical mesh networks are not in XC's mid-term future. We're not currently coding it.
Can you elaborate a bit more on this Arlyn.
Is this the beginning of the development of the Tech that will allow users to connect to to the internet using XC app via phone trough LTE? How it will get access to LTE withouth a sim card? is XC app communicating directly with LTE radio signals withouth the use of a SIM card in the future?, hence it will create a network based on the hardware with XC...hmmm yes I need more explanations about this please
If it's what I think it is, it's gonna be based on LTE Direct
http://www.telecomstechnews.com/news/2014/sep/30/lte-direct-mesh-networks-are-future-connectivity/According to this whitepaper, it's gonna use a licensed band on LTE and providers will charge a fee for using it.
https://www.qualcomm.com/system/files/document/files/Research_LTE-D_White_Paper.pdfSo, yes it's device 2 device (d2d), but it's still depending on a subscription from your provider.
It's like when we just discovered (if your old enough) using text messages. A whole new level of applications will become available with this.
Dan, can you confirm your anticipating on this technology?
Front row seats people! Front row!!
Can we go on IRC as well to discuss XC in a more direct way as here folks? who's with me?
