'''MeshBox''' is an item of [[computer hardware]] which is used to provide large scale [[wireless broadband]] networks. Manufactured by [[LocustWorld]], the devices are designed to co-operate with other MeshBoxes within range, passing the [[internet]] service from one box to the next, over the air, until it reaches the final destination. The coverage area of a mesh is typically measured in [[square miles]]. |

Originally released as a bootable [[CD-ROM]] called '''MeshAP''' based on the [[OpenAP]] [[open source software]], the system is now implemented as system image which can fit within a small 32[[Megabyte|MB]] [[CompactFlash]] card. The system functions have expanded beyond creating wireless networks to provide [[set-top box]] services, [[MP3 audio]] and video [[streaming media|streaming]], connection to remote windows [[terminal server]]s, other [[personal computer|PCs]], [[web browsing]], connection to [[peer-to-peer network]]s, [[instant messaging]] and [[file exchange]]. |
