WAVE Mesh

WAVE Mesh is a WAVE-native overlay network for resilient media transport — a thin, coordinator-driven control plane that routes streams across regions and fails over before a stream drops. It sits alongside WAVE Bridge as the conversion/overlay layer: Bridge gets the signal into WAVE; Mesh keeps it moving over the network WAVE owns end to end.

By design Mesh is a WAVE-native overlay: it replaces "borrow a third-party mesh VPN" with a control plane WAVE runs itself — one identity (WAVE tokens), one bill, one trust root. Nodes dial out on :443 and never need inbound reachability.

What it does

  • Coordinator-driven routing. A small control-plane service decides the path each leg takes and steers traffic — you configure nothing per network.
  • Multi-region reach. Routing spans regions, so a stream can take the healthy path rather than the only one.
  • Heartbeat-driven failover. Liveness is tracked continuously; when an uplink degrades, the mesh re-routes — the "stream didn't drop" moment.

What's live today

The control plane is live, behind the gateway:

  • Coordinator + gateway route. Mesh is reachable at api.wave.online/v1/mesh/*, fronted by the WAVE gateway.
  • Scope-enforced and audited. Access is gated by the gateway's mesh scope — the gateway is the single enforcement plane (auth, scope, metering) — and privileged operations are audit-logged.
  • Multi-region routing + heartbeat failover. Multi-uplink route planning and heartbeat-driven failover are implemented in the coordinator.
On the roadmap, not built yet: a zero-config node agent, and a flat WAVE-Mesh address that lets any node reach any other regardless of NAT. Everything else on this page is live today.

Pricing

WAVE Mesh is value-based and metered monthly. Because the coordinator's cost to operate is effectively zero, pricing reflects the reliability it delivers rather than raw infrastructure cost.

DimensionPriceWhat it meters
Requests routed$0.0002 / routed control opCore usage unit. At typical heartbeat volume that's about $6 per device per month — the overlay-network market norm.
Failover$0.02 / failover eventThe reliability premium — the moment the stream didn't drop.
Active regions$2.00 / active region / monthFootprint and reach.
Routing policies$1.00 / active policy / monthThe control surface.

How it bills

Metered monthly, and inert until a subscription attaches — you pay only for what routes. Until a mesh subscription is active, every dimension bills $0. This mirrors the metering model WAVE already runs for Bridge.

See WAVE Bridge for the conversion layer Mesh sits beside, and the API reference for the full contract.
