- The browser lab represents three phones on a simulated mesh; the site labels radio-to-radio operation as an early stage.
Field notes
The lab presents a small simulated network with sample messages about a water point, a flooded bridge and a clinic tent. The proposed record format is intended to stay the same across connection types, with each phone checking the post signature and relaying missing records when devices meet. The page separates current lab work from planned functions such as emergency messaging and positioning without GPS.
