ESS (Electronic Smoke Signals)

ESS (Electronic Smoke Signals) is a transceiver equipment that works as an old fashion beeper to send and read SMS help messages. It can be used with an extender to increase the equipment range.

How It Works

ESS contains a micro keyboard you can use to write the message to be send. It uses Wi-Fi protocol to communicate with other ESS devices on the range. The equipment receives the message and then re-sends the message to the final recipient using each ESS device as a bridge to reach the person that it's going to receive the message. The message is encrypted and uses a unique ID so other people can't see the message sent.

Steps of usage

1- Create your message using the integrated keyboard. 2- Send the message by hitting the Send button.
