Products: Relay

Transmission and communication, built on strands.

Relay moves strands between people, systems and devices, in real time.

Relay is the Transmit step as an API.

Launch an environmentRelay on the developer site
Overview

Fifteen characters move. The file follows.

Relay is the transmission endpoint. It carries a descriptor between people, systems and devices, over any channel that carries text. At the other end, Decode checks the grant and the file is rebuilt.

Any channel that carries text

Fifteen characters fit where a file never could.

A message

Chat, email or SMS.

An API call

System to system, from the SDK.

A QR code

On a screen, a label or a page.

A printed slip

Handed across a desk.

A line read aloud

Over the phone or the radio.

Channels and presence

Messaging, notification and history for applications.

To confirm

In practice

A site survey, from the field to the office.

  1. 01Recorded in the field

    A survey video is stored as a strand. Relay carries its fifteen characters.

  2. 02Sent over a thin link

    A message carries the descriptor. The video stays where it is.

  3. 03Opened at the office

    Decode checks the grant. The video is rebuilt, bit-exact.

Example scenario, not a customer deployment.

Relay is Transmit.

Step two of the four steps between a file and its copy.

  1. Step 1Implode

    The file folds into a strand.

  2. Step 2: RelayTransmit

    Relay carries the fifteen characters.

    • Message
    • API
    • QR code
    • Paper
  3. Step 3Decode

    The right to open is checked.

  4. Step 4Regenerate

    The file is rebuilt, bit-exact.

Questions about Relay

Draft answers. To confirm with product and engineering.

Does the file travel?

Fifteen characters travel. The file is rebuilt at the other end, where the cell is present and a grant allows it.

Is the descriptor a password?

No. A descriptor names a file. It does not open it. Opening needs the cell, which Implexus controls, and a grant that says who may open the file and for how long.

What does real time cover?

[Messaging, presence and notification scope: to confirm with product.]

How is it licensed?

With the engine: a licence to start, then a royalty per device that ships with the engine inside. No rates are published.
