Mesh networking is a food emergency communication solution, and Falkenrath can help bring in clients

We saw it coming. We have reported that self-healing, self-forming mesh-network technology is becoming more and more popular with first responders. Motorola, for example, purchased Maitland, Florida mesh-networking pioneer MeshNetworks and is now aggressively promoting the product and its potential as a flexible emergency-response communications system. Now, Redwood City, California-based PacketHop, an innovator in mobile mesh software which enables real-time multimedia applications for instant wireless group communication, announced that Richard Falkenrath, a senior fellow in foreign policy studies at the Brookings Institution, former deputy assistant to the president and deputy homeland security advisor, and former security maven at Harvard’s Kennedy School, has joined the company’s advisory board. Look for PacketHop’s solution to be promoted even more aggressively as first-response applications.
