Company bio
RightMesh is redefining connectivity to be more local, efficient and decentralized by reducing the dependence on centralized infrastructure. It does this be providing a mobile mesh networking platform for developers. Users of RightMesh apps are able to access mesh connectivity where they couldn't afford to connect with infrastructure or the infrastructure doesn't exist. Users who do have Internet access can opt to sell it and earn RightMesh tokens. Local meshes around the world can be linked together wherever Internet access is available linking these meshes together. The RightMesh network forms using Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi direct and Bluetooth available on most smartphones and IoT devices and does not require rooting the phone, or any special setup from the users. It is self-healing and self-organizing.
