Why a Distributed Service Framework (DSF) 
                                for Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETS)?
Mobile devices 
are proliferating.
cell phones
PDAs
GPS
Laptops / Netbooks
They take us all on the go ... but they don't work with each other.
It's as if they are in their own
separate worlds.
The Vision Thing:
Create a mobile ad-hoc wireless network. 
Take the best of wireless mesh networking
and make it mobile.
scalable
configurable
discoverable
flexible
reliable
The Challenge:
Today's Concept
Today's Challenge
   fixed wires   
cellular wireless
significant traffic overhead
not scalable
central infrastructure based
connectivity reliant
              Enhanced support for service hosting, discovery, description, and invocation.
Uses central directory services.
All while running on unreliable wireless links.
It's like Ginger Rogers dancing backwards 
and in high heels. 
DSF delivers like a wireless network, 
but does so in a more demanding environment.  
The DSF Solution:
The Concentris Approach:
Use commercially available MakaMesh technology. 
Open-standards based
Linux at its core
OLSR support
Updated codebase
Java 1.5 compliant
Ready-to-embed mesh networking 
for mobile applications.
