Wireless mesh: the ultimate beginner's guide

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have revolutionized the way we achieve reliable, flexible and cost-effective connectivity over large areas – and done right, meshing technology can be transformative for a wireless product. 

Wireless mesh is particularly suited to providing the infrastructure necessary to support the huge number of connected devices in IoT ecosystems. And it is equally integral to the development of smart city projects, enabling city-wide connectivity for various applications like surveillance, traffic management and public Wi-Fi.

Mesh networks extend wireless range by allowing each node to relay data to the next, effectively creating a vast, interconnected web. This structure not only enhances reliability but is also much simpler to deploy than the traditional cabled alternative, not to mention cheaper to install and maintain.

To help you learn more about how wireless mesh works, how it differs from other types of network and how you can really make it live up to its full potential, we’ve put together this handy beginner’s guide.

It contains four main sections where you can expect to discover more about the following subjects:

Chapter 1: What is wireless mesh?

An introduction to mesh networks and definitions of key meshing features from self-configuration to self-healing.

Chapter 2: Taking wireless mesh to the next level

Realizing the full potential of mesh and how to achieve greater network stability, reliable frequency synchronization and superior range with LumenRadio’s technology.

Chapter 3: Low energy mesh

Why keeping power consumption at an absolute minimum is critical for many businesses – and how LumenRadio’s wireless mesh achieves this.

Chapter 4: Time synchronization

The benefits of a precise internal clock and what can you use high precision timing for.
