Here you can see that the computer has connected to the SanDisk wifi, but the exclamation point clearly shows that there is no internet connection behind that. This means that it is in a state just like the “airplane mode” on other mobile devices. This means it is no longer connecting to Verizon’s network - it is only acting as a wireless router. Before I boarded the plane I went into the dashboard for the Verizon device and turned off the WAN connection. Here was my setup: I was using a MacBook Air, a Moto X phone (taking the picture, therefore, not pictured above), and I tested it out with two different routing devices shown above – a SanDisk Wireless Media Drive and a Verizon 3G mobile modem. Last Friday I used this exact feature to help get this blog post written. You and your colleagues can all join the LAN and run Sync to share massive files and folders quickly and easily at cruising altitude. (Though it also depends on what speeds your router will max out at, of course.) One of you has a personal wifi hotspot, wireless mobile storage device, or router that allows you to turn off the WAN or cellular connection (basically, it needs to be in an ‘airplane mode’ state like the rest of your devices)īecause Sync can work without the Internet, all you need to do is set up a LAN for your colleagues on the plane to start sharing files at speeds that clock in up to 16x faster than the cloud when you’re on the ground, and beats it by an even greater margin when compared to the cloud via in-flight wireless.You need to share large files or folders (of any type) during your flight.You and one or more colleagues are on the same flight.Once you factor in the wait times to upload from your device through the plane’s wifi to the cloud, and then back through the plane’s wifi down to your colleague, you’ll spend the whole flight waiting without doing any actual work. In-flight upload and download speeds are so slow that sharing anything, of any size through the cloud can be impossible. If you travel a lot for work you may have found yourself in a situation with colleagues scattered around your plane, and the in-flight wifi isn’t cutting it for collaboration. Here at BitTorrent we’re doing our part to tackle some of the problems with in-flight connectivity. Flying through the air in a metal tube is pretty amazing too, but what about a scenario that brings Sync’s local network capabilities to today’s business traveler. One of the most amazing features of BitTorrent Sync is how easily it works over local networks (LAN), and therefore how it’s able to continue to function even without Internet access.
