Technology Overview  
 
 
 

MultiPeer™

 

A step beyond conventional peer-to-peer software, SPANworks' patented MultiPeer™ technology provides an environment for any number of users to interact simultaneously for productivity or entertainment. The SPANworks II Wireless communications technology connects multiple wireless equipped devices in an ad-hoc peer network, without server or infrastructure. MultiPeer™ technology establishes and maintains a dynamic wireless environment, freeing the software developer and end-user from knowing anything about networking.

 

Wireless Technology

 

Two wireless technologies are rapidly becoming ubiquitous in the hardware world. Radio frequency Wi-Fi™ adapters conforming to the 802.11b standard are being used by more and more homes and offices for creating wireless networks.

 

The price of the tiny Bluetooth™ wireless communication cards will soon drop to under $10 facilitating their inclusion in a multitude of small hardware devices from laptop PC's to PDA's to cellular phones to home appliances.
