The iOS 7 feature is called Multipeer Connectivity Framework (MCF)
·
It creates what's called a wireless mesh, or peer-to-peer, network
·
Instead of sending messages using a mobile signal, the free app
creates its own network where each mobile on it becomes a 'node'
·
This means people in close proximity can message other nodes
·
Messages are also sent over long distance by relaying data from
one node to another anonymously
Buried within the
settings of Apple’s iOS 7 is a feature that could revolutionise how we
communicate.
