OSMOSIS TM MESH NETWORK TO TRANSFORM COMMUNICATIONS GLOBAL PEER-TO-PEER NETWORK CREATES A COMMUNICATIONS SUPERSTRUCTURE INDEPENDENT OF TRADITIONAL INTERNET OR CELLULAR INFRASTRUCTURE By Matthew Perdew, Chief Executive Officer, Wind Talker Innovations (WTI), Inc. UBIQUITOUS BROADBAND connectivity is nearly upon us. Recent advancements in network performance have dramatically improved the existing telecom landscape, increasing both service reach and capacity, but we continue to face a future for which we are unprepared. Consumer expectations are advancing faster than current network technology has evolved, with dreams of in-home Wi-Fi speeds on the go and mobile delivery of hi-def and 4K video still unrealized for millions. Travelers rank in-flight connectivity at the top of their list of “wants” but rank their actual experience at the lowest levels of satisfaction. Add to the already burdened shoulders of existing networks the anticipated proliferation of autonomous vehicles, fleets of drones, and the world of AI-driven IOT systems. Our world needs more network capacity! Whether it is the growth of smart city infrastructure, expansion of big data computing in business and research, or automation of commerce and supply chain logistics, our future depends on a massive, resilient, and secure web of connectivity to facilitate social, educational, economic, and mission-critical objectives. 44 • CESGovernment.com This competition for bandwidth and demand for a data-rich communications landscape, while frustrating to private or commercial users, profoundly impacts public sector. Our national security interests depend on advancing network performance, especially in rural and more challenging terrain where connectivity directly impacts combat readiness, troop effectiveness, and our ability to react to natural or man-made disasters and emergencies. When lives are on the line, network performance cannot be compromised. At Wind Talker Innovations (WTI), Inc., we are working to deploy a transformational network architecture solution that delivers ubiquitous, carrier agnostic connectivity. Osmosis TM is a software-driven solution that brings true resilience, inherent security, and multiple protocol integration to any radio-enabled device in order to meet the pressing needs of people, business, and government. This platform- and spectrum-agnostic mesh network will reach beyond existing communications barriers, enabling and accelerating 5G deployment, reducing infrastructure needs and costs, and offering new performance factors that will change the way we live, work, do business, and manage battle spaces.
