The router, app and trust services serve different purposes within one network. Explore what each component is for and how they are intended to work together.
This describes a development direction. It explains the purpose of a future component, rather than announcing software ready to download or a live service to join. The illustrations show concepts and relationships between devices, not the final product interface.
