technologyreseller.co.uk 07 INNOVATIONS Dynamic geozones Wyld Networks is helping organisations engage with their employees as they return to work with a new mobile mesh and content delivery platform. Wyld Mesh and Fusion connects smartphones to other smartphones and IoT devices without the need for cellular 4G/5G or Wi-Fi. Instead, data hops between phones powered by a company-branded app. When used with the Fusion cloud-streaming platform, it enables a company to create infrastructure-lite wireless networks and engage with employees through real-time, location-aware content delivery, messaging and notifications. The platform supports social distancing monitoring and contact tracing through the creation of dynamic geozones around employees and visitors. https://wyldmesh.net/register Sign guide Drytac has produced a free, interactive guide explaining how retailers and installers can use floor, wall and window graphics to display information about social distancing, hand washing, queuing and updated services or opening hours.
