Mesh Networking

A wireless Mesh network is a communications network made up of radio nodes in which there are at least two pathways of communication to each node. The coverage area of radio nodes that are working as a single network becomes a mesh cloud. Access to this mesh cloud is dependent on the radio nodes working in harmony with each other to create a radio network.

A Mesh network is reliable and offers redundancy. That’s because when one node can no longer operate, all the rest can still communicate with each other, directly or through one or more intermediate nodes. Wireless Mesh networks are self-healing networks. The network can still operate when a node breaks down or a connection goes bad, which again leads to very strong network reliability. This type of solution works with wireless networks, wired networks, and software interaction.
