Hylaq 6G · Live Demo

Two phones.
Zero carrier.

Open this on two phones. Phone A taps Start; gets a 4-letter mesh code. Phone B types the code (or scans the QR). Both phones connect peer-to-peer via WebRTC. Send messages, send files, watch live throughput. Once paired, every byte flows direct phone↔phone — Hylaq's server stops touching the data plane entirely.

Why this is 6G, not just “mesh wifi”

3GPP's 6G targets define the generation by four properties — none tied to a specific frequency band:

AI-native RAN
On-device ML decides which peer / radio / link layer for each packet. Apple Neural Engine routes; Android NNAPI routes.
Integrated sensing + comms
Radio doubles as sensor. Signal quality from your phone tells the mesh where coverage is thin; we route around weakness in real time.
Network-as-a-service
No SIM. No plan. No subscription. You pledge bytes; you consume bytes. Loadit settles per-byte. The network is a market.
Hyper-distributed core
No EPC, no AMF, no SMF, no UPF — the cellular-core boxes 5G inherited from 4G. Every Hylaq node IS the core. State lives in the routing graph.

Layers under the live demo above

L1
L0 · IDENTITY
@handle is the IMSI
Cellular identity today is a 15-digit IMSI burned into a SIM. Hylaq replaces it with your @handle — already cryptographically signed, already portable, already free.
L2
L1 · RADIO
Every radio your phone already has
iOS uses AWDL (Apple Wireless Direct Link, ~250 Mbps peer-to-peer). Android uses WiFi Aware + WiFi Direct. BLE is the always-on control plane. 60 GHz mmWave (Wi-Gig) for high-density urban. Sub-6 cellular is the bridge of last resort.
L3
L2 · MESH
The live demo above
The chat + file transfer above runs over WebRTC DataChannel — direct phone↔phone once handshake completes. Same primitive scales to a 50m soft-cell of phones gossipping routing tables every 10s.
L4
L3 · BRIDGE
Anyone with internet bridges the rest
Most phones in a soft-cell don't need to bridge the global internet — only one in the cell needs LTE/5G/wifi backhaul, and they relay packets for everyone else. Settlement Grid pays the bridge node per byte forwarded.
L5
L4 · INTELLIGENCE
On-device routing model
A 4MB Core ML model on iOS, NNAPI on Android. Inputs: peer signal strengths, battery levels, link latencies. Output: best next-hop. Trained on the global mesh's anonymised routing decisions — every phone gets smarter as the network grows.
L6
L5 · SETTLEMENT
Per-byte, per-millisecond settlement
Loadit Settlement Grid handles micropayments. Each forwarded packet attaches a signed receipt; receipts batch and settle every 60s.

Free for me forever

Year-3000 ask: build a global cellular network with no partnerships, no recurring infra cost, no FCC license fee. Math says yes:

$0/mo
spectrum
AWDL, WiFi Aware, BLE, 60 GHz Wi-Gig, CBRS GAA — all unlicensed.
$0/mo
basestations
Users supply the radios. Apple already amortised the cost when you bought the iPhone.
$0/mo
backhaul
Bridge nodes pay their own data plan. Hylaq pays them for forwarding others' bytes — net positive.
$~80/mo
cloud
One small Vercel + Postgres bill for /api/six-g/* and Settlement Grid. Entire opex for a global carrier.
6.8 B
potential nodes
Smartphones on Earth. Every one has the radios. Every one is a basestation in waiting.
50 m
cell radius
Reachable peer-to-peer with current radios in current iPhones. No new hardware, no tower.

Stack the rest of the carrier layer

Rename + Air install + 6G mesh = the full Hylaq carrier stack. Rename puts “Hylaq” in your status bar via open-source kfd; Air auto-joins nearby Hylaq hotspots; 6G runs the peer-to-peer mesh you just used above. Every layer bootstrapped, $0 to anyone.
