Portable WiFi Mesh
Micro-Networks
For Infrastructure-Free Environments
What is #dotdot?...
#dotdot eliminates data subscription costs and drastically reduces carbon footprint in local communications. #dotdot is an enabler for a wealth of use cases, both in B2C (anonymous P2P trading of unused GBs) and B2B (scatterable WiFi repeater mesh in white zones).
Extend a Router Internet Access with a #dot...
Once done, you will have created a "root" node, which is the reference node for a WiFi mesh network. You may extend the #dotdot WiFi by merely adding more #dot's: just turn on a second #dot, and after a few seconds, its LED will turn blue, proving that it has found the root node and is connected to it! And you can repeat with as many #dot's as you want! Purchase your #dot's, download the #dotdot app, and off you go!
Create an Off-Grid Network with a #dot...
To create an off-grid network using #dot devices:
- Activate the first #dot (purple LED indicates no router connection)
- Power on a second #dot (blue LED signifies connection to the root node)
- Connect your smartphone to the "#dotdot" WiFi network: iOS or Android, it will indicate that this network has no internet access, which is precisely what is sought for with off-grid networks.
#dot's in B2B Applications
#dot's are powerful low cost repeaters that can spontaneously mesh and create a wealth of use cases!
Off-grid Mesh
We propose hardened versions of #dot's configured for automatic and self-healing meshing. These are well suited for Defense applications to build off-grid meshes ie private WiFi meshes not connected to the internet, on which apps such as CivTAK and ATAK can run at up to 10-15 Mbps to share text, image and video content. Contact us for more!
En savoir plusWiFi Repeater
We propose versions of #dot's configured for automatic and self-healing meshing + connexion to any internet gateway (public WiFi, home or office box, smartphone hotspot...etc), to repeat internet access throughout the mesh. These are well suited for easy deployment of internet access without infrastructure, like underground networks in white zones or classified installations, or for internet access in thick-walled homes! Contact us for more!
En savoir plusMonetizing my network
#dotdot turns any crowd - car, bicycle or scooter fleet, human crowd or animal herd, ...etc - into a monetizable private network: the crowd becomes a mesh, and can propagate a WiFi signal everywhere the crowd is present, including in mobile white zones. From car fleets to urban internet, #dot:dot helps "crowd owners" to explore new sources of revenue! Contact us for more!

Transform excess into access: #ShareYourGBs! - FAQ's
In repeater mode, turn on a first #dot, pair it with your router (= Box or any other internet access point for which you know the name (SSID) and password). Once done, turn on as many extra #dot's as you want, they will mesh with the first #dot by themselves as long as they are within range (50 to 75m in open space).
If you want to create an off-grid mesh WiFi network, just turn on your #dot's one after the other and they will mesh altogether.
In each case, you may then connect to the "#dotdot" WiFi network that is visible from your WiFi settings: the default password is "dotdot2021", but you may change it from the app.
No if you're "#dotee" and want unrestricted access to the Internet via the #dotdot network, on demand.
For a #doter, using the #dot offers several unique advantages:
- Anonymity of sharing and transactions: while many users are interested in sharing their GBs of Internet access, few want to do so face-to-face. Sharing one's hotspot connection requires one to communicate the password of their phone, and therefore cannot be done anonymously
- Cybersecurity: Doing the same from just within an app his would require accessing directly to the AP software layers of the phone, which is undoable for a developer, and would trigger severe security breaches.
- Range: between 50 and 150 meters, depending on the #dot model, far greater than the 15 to 20 meters of a connection shared directly from a smartphone, where anonymity is uncertain.
No data is shared between the #doter and the #dotee: what is shared is the #doter’s right to access the Internet, via the connection between the #doter’s router and their #dot. A #doter never shares data – in particular personal data – with anyone connected to their #dot, and a #dotee never shares data – in particular personal data – with the #doter when connecting to their #dot.
Some #dot owners may decide to change the default password to access the #dotdot network: they usually make it very visible so that anyone can actually connect without knowing who is the owner of the #dot repeating an internet access: so just watch around you, you should see the password!
