Recently Sovereign Systems and Hypha were in theheart of London to demonstrate the full capability of a Hypha Mesh (both its base mesh but also its WiF), Peplink Cellular (in this case Peplink was just used for DHCP and not cellular) and Sarlink Satellite Communications solution.

The protest took place in Knightsbridge, a densely populated district of London with tall buildings and narrow streets. The vehicle was equipped with a mesh node connected to Peplink and Satcom.

Users walked hundreds of meters away while connected to their mesh radios via WiFi on their smartphones (while in airplane mode to assure the Hypha mesh solution was the one providing communications).

Using a Smartphone connected to a Mesh radio, Meshing to Peplink, and Starlink to their Police Headquarters in an Asian nation, they conducted a successful video communication while on patrol.

The configuration demonstrated can be permanently installed in a vehicle or, in this case, quickly and easily installed temporarily.

Each mesh radio can connect up to ten devices, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, cameras, and sensors. According to Sovereign Systems, TAK software is one of the most prevalent uses of the WiFi function due to its limitless applications.
