IndraNet Minder

IndraNet Minder is a highly sophisticated computer (when formed into a mesh network with other minders) is capable of initially delivering Centralised Phone and Centralised Power Grids and later Centralised TV Broadcasting & Entertainment and Centralised Transport Systems.

Each minder’s location is fitted with an antenna - small and discreet Real Broadband Supply:

The minder is the customer premises equipment (CPE) that delivers the broadband. The minder is also part of the FraMe network. The new minder Version 2.5 (pictured above) is being developed for deployment in residential areas.

The data (Emails, Internet Web pages, music, video, computer games, etc.) hops from neighbouring minders to neighbouring minders all the way to its destination. Communications are routed either within the local FraMe network, or are routed to the global Internet through an interconnect with long distance backbone. The software selects the most appropriate route across the mesh of minders.

There is no tower, no cell, no cabling the streets, no central exchange.

It’s that simple; an IndraNet FraMe is just minders at customers’ places.

A network of minders — high-performance computers — linked together wirelessly at very high speeds. These minders are both processor and storage devices, thus spreading the computing workload over dozens, if not hundreds, of devices.

Features of the IndraNet MINDER
One infrastructure, many uses

A advantage is the ability for IndraNet FraMe's to be used to provide a multiplicity of iPNs services.

iPNs are autonomous and secure IndraNet Intelligent Private Networks that are configured over each local FraMe network. They are reserved for a customer’s exclusive purposes, and leased to that customer.

Examples of such services include power grid management, security systems, traffic management systems, and private network between branches of a business.

This means that the one FraMe infrastructure will be able to be used to market a very wide range of services that presently often require different parallel infrastructures.

In other words, FraMe's are designed to provide high economies of scale.
Low Latency (Fast response time)

IndraNet FraMe's are designed to be used to provide latencies around 20 milliseconds (2Oms) that are suitable for many emerging applications requiring fast response time like computer games.

A large proportion of the current growth in Internet traffic is due to computer games played over the Internet. A few privileged users who have access to cable or T connections enjoy very low latencies of 11ms or less.

By comparisons ADSL modems would have latencies upwards of 55ms and up to 7Oms. This is often too slow for computer games and other low latency applications. A dial up narrow band modem is likely to have a 95ms latency. Many wireless broadband systems also have a high latency; and a satellite connection will have a latency of 400ms or more.
 
Guaranteed bandwidth

A major competitive advantage is that the core IndraNet technology is designed to never run out of bandwidth.

In most current networks, the more customers subscribe to a network, the more load on that network,
and the less net bandwidth is available per customer.

This is more particularly the case with cellular type wireless broadband networks (like 3G or WiMAX).
For example,  a 22 Mbps WiMAX tower beaming to say 2,000 customers in a suburb will only be able to provide 110kbps per customer.

In the same type of environment, it is our intention that every IndraNet FraMe customer that subscribe for it would get a full 2Mbps (i.e. 2,000kbps) regardless of the network load caused by other users.
In IndraNet FraMe's, there is no shared bandwidth. This is a plus for network operators.

The current scarcity of bandwidth over the last 10 miles with bandwidth abundance. Match this abundance with the existing abundance of bandwidth at the backbone level. The total network bandwidth grows with the number of customers on the FraMe network. This is also a plus for customers as bandwidth costs are reduced and the bandwidth capacity they pay for is what they get.
 
Large scale networks

A FraMe networks are designed to scale to high densities of users per square kilometre and increased bandwidth per minder. Except in very high density urban environments, as in parts of Korea, where fibre-to-the-home networks are economically viable, most current technologies cannot cost-effectively scale to the very high densities of points of supply, and increased bandwidth per point of supply, that are already required in some cities and that are expected to become common over the next five years and beyond.

The IndraNet core technology is specifically designed to meet this market requirement.
 
Self Healing

A wireless mesh network is a communications network made up of radio nodes in which there are at least two pathways of communication to each node. When one node can no longer operate, all the rest can still communicate with each other, directly or through one or more intermediate nodes.
                     The diagrams below illustrate how wireless mesh networks can self form and self heal.  Source
Summary

IndraNet is using the convergence of

information,
communication,
energy technologies

A shift from a paradigm of “bigger, more centralised is better”,

to

A paradigm of smaller
  de-centralised networks
  more performing
  more resilient
  more sustainable
  much more profitable
