SpaceX Starlink has been conducting beta testing for LEO satellite internet services in countries such as Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina. Companies in these countries are actively contacting MeshBox to explore mesh networks for shared bandwidth in reducing network deployment costs, using a Starlink internet backhaul. In the proposed solutions, MeshBoxes can leverage the satellite Internet connection as a reliable Internet backhaul and share it in the mesh network so as to efficiently expand inclusive Internet access to a sparse and rural areas using economies of scale.
The following is the recent specific work:
Software development
- Researched application of mptp protocol on Mesh network;
- Fixed issue with notification of mesh network availability in MeshBox wifi client mode.
Hardware development
- Researched DNS over HTTPS (DoH) protocol.
- Conducted tests and confirmation on Tesla equipment before shipping to Singapore;
- Participated in testing internet source of mesh notification after repair.
- Analyzed alternative solution products on layer 2 network and researched token economy of such products;
- Prepared network solution for Singapore housing development board proposal.
- Currently, business development team from MeshBox is negotiating with business representatives and groups from Argentina, Bolivia, and Colombia with plans to deploy MeshBox products in local areas with no Internet or underdeveloped networks, especially in sparse and rural areas. In Argentina, 40% of people live in rural areas, while in Colombia, 60% of people live in rural areas. People in these areas can’t benefit from the efficient business and convenient life brought by the Internet. The deployment and application of MeshBox products could solve these problems effectively.
