Brodman left T-Mobile in 2012 and spent the next four years as a board member for a handful of startups. One of those companies was M87, which launched out of Austin, Texas in 2014. M87’s technology, born out of research done by founder Vidur Bhargava and Dr. Sriram Vishwanath at the University of Texas in Austin, helps wireless carriers improve network performance by creating dynamic device-to-device mesh networks. As Brodman spent more and more time advising the company, it eventually asked him to take on a leadership role. Read the full article at Geekwire.

What if it didn’t need a cellular or Wi-Fi connection at all to talk to the devices around it? Turns out both of those hypotheticals will soon be reality, at least, if M87 has anything to say about it. The wireless technology company, led by former T-Mobile executive Cole Brodman, is currently trialing a new solution that would allow devices at the edge of the network to connect and form their own “proximate networks.” Here’s how it works. According to Broadman, the technology – developed by Vidur Bhargava and Dr. Sriram Vishwanath at the University of Texas at Austin – uses software to bridge and route between different radio technologies to allow devices like smartphones to connect with other devices nearby – whether or not they’re connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi or cellular. This in turn allows devices to share information, like location or text messages, with one another and even help each other find the easiest path to the best network connection. Brodman said the technology is “more or less” radio agnostic, multi-operating system (iOS and Android), multi-RF, and multi-hop (to allow single or multiple hops between devices trying to reach the network).
