FireChat works even without an Internet connection or cellular phone
coverage. Use it anywhere: planes, public transportation, cruise ships,
campuses, and crowded events. All you need is a few people using FireChat.
FireChat creates a mesh network using Bluetooth and peer-to-peer WiFi.
FireChat transmits messages and pictures offline between devices that are
located within 200 feet of one another.
FireChat users form a network that increases in size with the number of
devices. It allows messages to hop from one device to the next in order to
reach the recipient(s). This is why the more people use FireChat, the better
and the larger the network becomes (unlike with cellular networks).
On the mesh network, messages are transmitted seamlessly from one
device to the next in order to reach the recipient(s). When an Internet
connection or cellular network is available, FireChat uses them to reach remote
recipients.
Public messages are visible by anyone. Private messages are encrypted
and can only be seen and read by the sender and the recipient.
You will be automatically connected directly with one another, creating
your own network for public and private communications. The more people use it,
the bigger and faster your network becomes. And when you do have access to a
reliable Internet connection or cellular network, FireChat helps you reach
people worldwide and build your audience faster than on any social network, for
free.
