Four phases from reference dev kit to a 100M-device commercial network.
Reference MeshOS on dev kits; BLE + Wi-Fi-only mesh; 1,000-node ns-3 simulation; post-quantum handshake.
| Milestone | KPI | Exit criterion |
|---|---|---|
| Reference dev kit | 50 hardware units | Boots MeshOS, joins testnet |
| Two-radio mesh | BLE + Wi-Fi | 10-hop voice call < 200 ms |
| PQ handshake | Kyber-768 + Dilithium | Passes NIST KAT vectors |
| Simulation | 1,000 nodes | Self-heal < 1 s under 10% churn |
10,000-device pilot across 3 cities + 1 rural region; LoRa overlay; public testnet for relay credits.
| Milestone | KPI | Exit criterion |
|---|---|---|
| Pilot fleet | 10k devices | 30-day reliability ≥ 99% |
| LoRa overlay | Rural site | 15 km link, 99% delivery |
| Relay credits testnet | Public | 1M+ daily attestations |
| Security audit | External firm | No criticals open |
Drone relays, LEO satellite fallback, disaster drills, independent security audit + formal verification.
| Milestone | KPI | Exit criterion |
|---|---|---|
| Drone relays | 3 platforms | 1h flight, 5km bridge |
| Satellite fallback | LEO partner | SLA-backed uplink |
| Disaster drill | Quake / flood sim | 0 message loss, 100% uptime |
| Formal verification | Routing + identity | Coq/TLA+ proofs published |
Open hardware reference, carrier-of-last-resort partnerships, 100M-device target.
| Milestone | KPI | Exit criterion |
|---|---|---|
| Open hardware | OSHWA cert | Reference BOM published |
| Carrier partnerships | ≥ 3 telcos | SLA-backed roaming |
| Device shipments | 100M | Achieved in 36 months |
| Regulatory | ≥ 10 jurisdictions | Spectrum allocation approved |
| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spectrum regulation | High | High | Tiered access (CBRS-style); license-exempt fallback |
| Battery anxiety | Medium | Medium | Listen-before-talk < 2%; solar trickle |
| Sybil / wash-relay | Medium | High | PoUW + 2-neighbor attestations + reputation decay |
| Carrier opposition | High | Medium | Position as carrier-of-last-resort, not replacement |
| Hardware supply | Medium | High | Open BOM, multiple ODMs, reference design |
