 Wireless mesh network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mesh networks may involve either fixed or mobile devices.
MIT Roofnet A research project at MIT that provides software
Nodes act as repeaters to transmit data from nearby nodes to peers that are too far away to reach, resulting in a network that can span large distances, especially over rough or difficult terrain.

 Sensors Magazine Online - February 2003 - Wireless Mesh Networks
This was accomplished via the mesh networking algorithms used by the wireless network.
The mesh topology enhances the overall reliability of the network, which is particularly important when operating in harsh industrial environments.
Multihop mesh technology, however, is inherently reliable and redundant, and it can be extended to include thousands of devices.

 O'Reilly Network: Wireless Mesh Networking
There are a large number of protocols and implementations in the field of mesh and ad-hoc networking, each with differing goals and design criteria, and more are being developed as we write this.
The MeshBox and mesh software have been used in a number of community networks in the UK.
However, utilizing other strengths of mesh networks, we can come up with relevant real-world scenarios where hybrids between "static" and "ad-hoc" networks offer some clear advantages -- networks where a number of static nodes form the matrix (the substrate) in which other nodes appear, roam, and disappear.

 EETimes.com - Mesh network wireless spec contemplated
The system uses proprietary software based on technology developed by SRI that makes a mesh network appear like a multiport Ethernet switch.
The study group is likely to consider a March proposal from the Navy Research Laboratory that suggested an extension to 802.11 for mesh networking.
"A standard for meshes is a great idea," agreed Roger Durand, director of RF systems architecture for Propagate Networks (Acton, Mass.), a developer of software that enables mesh networking on Atheros 802.11 chip sets.

 Wireless mesh network good as gold
PacketHop is a spin-off of SRI International in Menlo Park, Calif., created to commercialize research on mesh networks funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
Field personnel had two dozen wireless devices—notebooks, PDAs and wearable computers equipped with PacketHop software and IEEE 802.11a and 11b network interface cards.
The February exercise showed that emerging technologies such as mobile mesh networking also could fit into the plans.

 The Promise of Wireless Mesh Networks - Wireless - NewsFactor Network
Wireless mesh network can help alleviate the problems of link management, too, by introducing fault-tolerant features.
This helps save cost and speed up the installation process since there will be no more wiring work to connect the access point to the nearest router or switch.
Looking at logic, the growth of Internet hotspots everywhere, Wi-Fi-enabled features being a standard offering in personal digital assistants (PDAs), phones and computers lend credence to the notion that this technology will continually evolve to match consumers' expectations and demands.

The network designer can then run simulations of the proposed network's operation and adjust the design to address any identified coverage holes and capacity problems.
In many cases, this renders the network useless for many of the intended applications.
In these scenarios, any highly manual and time-consuming process isn't practical for planning the network.

 wireless mesh network - a Whatis.com definition
The software creates a virtual network adapter that the computer interprets as a regular network connection and uses an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) protocol called Link Quality Source Routing (LQSR) to route data among computers in the neighborhood.
In a full mesh topology, every node communicates with every other node, not just back and forth to a central router.
Each network user is also a provider, forwarding data to the next node.

 Wireless mesh networks 101
This article explores wireless mesh networks, including how they are different from other computer networks and when and how they should be employed.
While the device you're using, such as a laptop or PDA, is wirelessly connecting to one of many APs (access points) on the WLAN, each AP must have a physical, wired connection to a network.
The ease of installation and low cost make wireless mesh networks an attractive choice; however, the ultimate success of these installations lies in the planning and design of the network.
