Sonosnet (was Re: [CUWiN-Dev] sonos: a home audio system built on a secure wireless mesh network)

[Chase Phillips]

The name of Sonos's wireless mesh network technology is Sonosnet. 
Here are some snippets:

*** http://linuxdevices.com/articles/AT7647366603.html

...Where Ethernet is not available, Sonos components within range of
each other automatically form a self-configuring network based on
"Sonosnet," the company's custom-built, secure, peer-to-peer wireless
mesh networking technology...

...the ZonePlayers serve as access points for the Controller...

...Another Sonos System feature uniquely supported by Sonosnet is the
claimed ability to route an audio signal to multiple ZonePlayers
without echo or loss of synchronization...

...MacFarlane adds that Sonos worked two years to develop and test
Sonosnet, and may consider commercial or open source licenses for the
technology in the future...
