Open Garden allows mobile devices to share their data with others.
Open Garden uses nearby clients to receive bandwidth if a wireless network is password protected.
Install the app on all your devices to start sharing!
Once the first connection is established, you're ready to go!
Seamless connectivity allows people to connect any supported device to the mesh and thus to the Internet with no effort or configuration. Install, done. No buttons, no pairing, no manual discoverability. Open Garden can use different physical ways to connect in general; today's version concentrates on Bluetooth. Bluetooth normally requires to manually put one of the devices into discoverable state, which only lasts a few minutes. We eliminated the need for this, saving battery, improving privacy, and, most importantly, allowing devices to connect with no user intervention.
When there is no direct Internet connection, devices will access the Internet through chains of other devices. Again, if necessary, chains will grow to reach the Internet.
Our version 2.0 brings multi-path access. Normally today, you access the Internet using only one path. For example, when your phone gets on Wi-Fi, it no longer uses its 4G connection; if you are in an area with multiple Wi-Fi hotspots, you only use one. We are introducing a way to access the Internet over multiple paths at once, improving speed and reliability, and also eliminating configuration choices: you will no longer need to pick how you connect, since you will simply use multiple ways.
Once connected, devices find a path to the Internet also completely automatically. If a path fails, a new one will be chosen; if necessary, new connections will be established. The network is self-healing and self-forming. Each of the nodes operates only with local knowledge; together, they build a network using a probabilistic distributed algorithm.
The Open Garden application enables users to access the most appropriate connection without configuring their devices or jumping through hoops. It also enables users to access Internet as cheaply as possible.
Users can find the fastest connection and most powerful signal without checking every available network, and can move between networks seamlessly. Open Garden provides a way to access more data at faster speeds in more locations.
Consumers actually become part of the network, sharing connections when and where they provide the best possible access. Which means higher quality streaming video and audio, more immediate multiplayer gaming and faster downloads.
Open Garden provides a way to access more data at faster speeds in more locations.
It enables seamless handoffs and simultaneous use of multiple networks, providing the strongest and fastest connection available.
Its multi-hop Wi-Fi offloading solution crowdsources bandwidth via existing residential and business Wi-Fi connections. Open Garden creates an overlay mesh network using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections across a range of mobile devices, from smartphones to tablets to laptops and desktops. Operators can boost their offerings even as they offload traffic from their networks, particularly in urban areas where cellular coverage can be inconsistent.
It requires minimal capital expenses compared to alternatives such as femtocells and microcells.
As the solution doesn't require any infrastructure investment, it can be deployed in a fraction of the time it takes to add small cells.
Because Open Garden’s solution is built on software – rather than hardware – they require no operational expenses.
Open Garden’s technology provides an easy, seamless way for devices for move from one network to another on the go and share mobile data.
It enables seamless handoffs and simultaneous use of multiple networks, providing the strongest and fastest connection available.
Open Garden’s solution allows manufacturers to market their hardware as a faster, more efficient alternative to other devices on the market.
