<p dir="ltr">It's a way to transmit files to the field and disseminate them in the field to smartphones. You need one radio receiver that picks up satellite L band and then it should be possible to mesh smartphones on the ground. ie no Internet connection is required and the radio is self contained with a small solar panel.</p>
