Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 2
Southern Alberta Institute of Technology
$75,000.00
Vehicular Mesh Networks
FY 2015-16
Summary
SAIT Polytechnic and SRD Innovations Inc. plan to collaborate on a project called ""Vehicular Mesh
Networks"". The project is to develop a Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network product, namely hyVAN, to enable WiFi,
email and voice communications in mobile scenarios on a purely WiFi air interface, without reliance on
cellular infrastructure. The hyVAN protocol will be developed based on an earlier SRD product called hyMesh,
a platform built on the IEEE802.11 wireless communications standard. If successful, the project results will be
a huge step toward the development of mobile WiFi. In addition, SAIT will gain valuable new knowledge and
experience in wireless communications through this project.
