Ep. 90 Orbis Mesh Apr 24, 2019

Show notes

Orbis Mesh Network, founded in 2018, is focused on building a sustainable, wireless, and efficient world using Mesh Network technology. Orbis Mesh Network technology leaves cables and airtime charges in the past. Using a decentralized signal independent of telecommunication networks, devices relay data and commands through a network built solely by the devices. This system can be scaled up to hundreds of meters and is accessible from a single point. But how? The technology builds a stable, self-configuring wireless system which transforms any device into a router. Devices link to their neighbor, building the most efficient path of communication using a radio frequency. The system eliminates wires and cords in short range applications and replaces them with a wireless, low energy alternative, free of airtime charges. Using this technology water wasted in irrigation systems can be reduced up to 60%. Energy consumption, system monitoring, and automation technology can be optimized and monitored from a single source. Orbis Mesh Technology is committed to be an affordable solution, and a leader in of Smart City Technology. Gerry Wight, head of business development and Chris Conti, marketing manager, join host Tony Kramer for a look at this new technology.
