Linux Powers Wireless Mesh Music System

Posted by michael on from the your-demo-won't-crash dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A startup has created a unique Linux-based home music distribution system based on secure peer-to-peer wireless mesh networking technology. The system can route the same or different songs, sourced from any connected computer, to as many as 30 audio output devices simultaneously. Sonos is showcasing its technology this week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas."

    Apple has a feature called "Share My Internet Connection" that takes precisely six clicks to turn on and configure.

    Theoretically, you could have this turned on by default in every computer with an Airport card installed and you'll have a roaming mesh network, so long as just one computer can get on an access point.
