Wireless Mesh Networks

Summary

Wireless mesh networks are decentralized wireless networks formed by multiple interconnected nodes that communicate with each other and extend network coverage automatically.

Detailed Description

In a wireless mesh network, each node acts as a relay point, forwarding data to and from various endpoints. This decentralized approach enhances reliability and flexibility, as each node can serve as a connection point, improving coverage in areas where traditional networking might fail. The nodes can be fixed or mobile, forming a dynamic and self-healing network that scales easily without needing extensive infrastructure.
