Abstract: A system and method for communication between a number of mobile devices. Wireless connectivity is established between the number of mobile devices and a mobile access point to form a mobile network. Information is exchanged between the number of mobile devices via the wireless connectivity between the number of mobile devices and the mobile access point. Wireless connectivity also may be established between the mobile access point and a number of other mobile networks to form a mesh of mobile networks. Information may be exchanged between the number of mobile devices and the number of other mobile networks via the wireless connectivity between the number of mobile devices and the mobile access point.
