Product Description

Jambo Networks provides a service that allows people with common interests or needs to meet face-to-face in public spaces or events using wireless networks. Jambo’s patent-pending personal area matching technology uses WiFi devices and securely stored personal information to precisely match users who are relevant to one another and within walking distance. Jambo can detect the invisible opportunities around users anywhere in the world, even when there is no network infrastructure available.

Market Opportunity

In 2005, Instat/MDR estimates that almost 100% of all laptops sold will be WiFi enabled. Jambo will leverage this ubiquity by partnering with conferences, universities, and associations to connect their members. Over 34M people in the U.S. attend conferences, spending over $26B annually to network with other attendees (The Center for Association Leadership).

Demo Says

“Jambo is digital-assisted networking in the real world. Through smart data architecture and constructive use of WiFi ad hoc networking, Jambo helps like-interested people find each other in public spaces and at events.”
