Features

  • Illustrates mesh networking concepts and how the technology can be used to benefit government, corporate, and home users
  • Reviews wireless LAN topics including radio frequency usage, power measurements, and antenna operations
  • Describes the operation and use of the individual components that form the wireless mesh networks used for both indoor and outdoor applications
  • Explains the operation, benefits, and limitations of various routing protocols that manufacturers use to generate a wireless mesh networking capability
  • Analyzes how equipment is deployed to create wireless mesh networks and details how transmissions are decoded
  • Provides examples of the two most popular methods of connecting stations to wireless mesh structures and discusses the economics associated with creating mesh networks
  • Summary

    Wireless mesh networking is a new technology that has the potential to revolutionize how we access the Internet and communicate with co-workers and friends. Wireless Mesh Networks examines the concept and explores its advantages over existing technologies. This book explores existing and future applications, and examines how some of the networking protocols operate.

    The text offers a detailed analysis of the significant problems affecting wireless mesh networking, including network scale issues, security, and radio frequency interference, and suggests actual and potential solutions for each problem.

    Although the book's primary focus is the potential use of wireless mesh networks in the commercial marketplace, it enables readers to gain an appreciation for use of the technology in the office, at government agencies, on campus, and in the home.
