Mesh++

Mesh++ is a Chicago-based company founded in 2017 by Danny Gardner, who currently serves as the CEO. Gardner, a Stanford University alumnus, established the company to address the challenge of internet connectivity in areas where traditional cable infrastructure is prohibitively expensive or non-existent.

The company specializes in manufacturing and deploying solar-powered, last-mile broadband radios. These devices create self-healing and self-configuring mesh networks capable of delivering high-speed internet over large outdoor areas, such as parks, rural communities, and developing countries. The core of its technology lies in a patented, ultra-low-loss mesh networking protocol that minimizes throughput degradation as the signal hops between nodes, ensuring efficient and reliable connectivity.

Mesh++'s business model revolves around selling its hardware and networking solutions to a variety of clients, including municipalities, internet service providers, and organizations in need of connectivity in remote or underserved locations. The solar-powered nature of its nodes allows for rapid deployment without the need for existing power infrastructure, making it a practical solution for disaster relief and temporary event coverage.
