New Mesh Network Technology Aims to Overcome Crowd Limitations

A cross-institutional research team has unveiled Amigo, a mesh networking system engineered to function during internet blackouts in protest scenarios. The technology addresses critical weaknesses in traditional mesh networks that have hampered performance in crowded environments through innovative routing and security approaches.

Breakthrough in Decentralized Networking

Researchers from Johns Hopkins University, Harvard, and the City College of New York have developed a new mesh networking prototype specifically hardened for challenging environments where traditional communications often fail, according to reports from a recent cryptography conference. The system, called Amigo, represents a significant reimagining of mesh network technology that has historically struggled in the very crowded scenarios it was designed to handle.
