In this paper, we discuss about the applicability of a short-range wireless communication scheme called Mobile Encounter Network (MEN). Encounters between devices communicating while moving allows ad-hoc -type data transfer to be performed. A background for the emerging of such networks is given. The essential properties of the MEN data transfer are specified. Based on this, the role of MEN as a data transfer medium is discussed. The conclusion is that such networking technique may provide additional value compared to the traditional wireless communication.
