A wireless mesh network is one in which all devices that are part of a network have multiple links to communicate with each other, explains Cosimo Malesci, vice president of sales for Boston-based Fluidmesh Networks, a manufacturer of point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and mesh networks for security and industrial applications. “This solution’s advantage is that you do not have a single point of failure in the network,” he says.
Wireless mesh networks are organized collections of intelligent multi-service, modular, multi-radio wireless access points, more commonly called “wireless mesh nodes,” capable of automatically establishing and maintaining multiple relationships and connectivity between nodes in the network, explains Kirby Russell.
