Earlier this year, we discussed how Computes could be used in proximity computing. Imagine entering a space (home or office or even your car) and have all of your authorized devices (and friends / colleagues devices) automatically form a personal area network (PAN) and start connecting, communicating, and computing with one another for a common purpose.

The more ambient computing devices available, the more powerful your personal supercomputer becomes.

Sounds too futuristic? Well, that’s exactly what can be done with Computes’ public and private mesh networks today. Rather than just relying on the network properties, Computes can also now leverage other radios such as bluetooth to isolate networks to only nearby devices thus creating an ad-hoc PAN.

Since Computes technology is decentralized, there are no dependencies on Internet access or central on-premise servers. Any computing device with bluetooth could organically connect, communicate, and compute together. Computes is completely resilient / non-stoppable computing. Here’s more info on our Lattice technology.

In the mean time, here’s a fun video demo highlighting Computes running on a public mesh network, followed by a private mesh network, followed by a bluetooth personal area network.

Computes is leading the way to make ambient and proximity computing a reality as well as the entire mesh computing platform that will power the new decentralized machine-to-machine economy. Our mesh computing technology is 100% decentralized and distributed. It’s powered by a next generation blockchain-like, DAG-based distributed ledger called Lattice.
