BeeChatNetwork
Open source (GPL 3), peer-to-peer, radio communication chat based on the ZigBee standard.
What is BeeChat?
BeeChat is an open source set of hardware and software which allows people to securely communicate over encrypted peer-to-peer short-range radio connections, and without relying on commercial infrastructure.
- No SIM cards, no Internet required.
- No shady tracking.
- We all fully own the system, this way, no one can destroy it.
If you want to send a message to someone outside your range, people in between you two can act as a bridge, without ever knowing the contents of the encrypted message.
Possible uses
BeeChat is extremely flexible. Here are just some of the ways we think BeeChat can be useful, but the possibilities are endless.
-
Compromised Internet
In case of a natural disaster or civil unrest, normal internet may not be functional. In such a case, BeeChat can provide vital communication functionalities to allow users to stay in touch with friends and loved ones.
