4. What is Wireless Mesh?
A wireless mesh is a network created by a
grid of wireless access points, known as
nodes
Nodes contain radios that provide wireless
internet access to users and transport voice,
video and data traffic to and from nearby
nodes wirelessly
Mobile users can continuously access
broadband services as they move throughout
the coverage area
Completely wireless communications over
long distances and large areas can provide
100% reach-ability & mobility of broadband

17. Independent Validation
“It’s not every day that a test produces data that reverses a widely accepted belief: Effective throughput on wireless
mesh networks is supposed to taper off to little more than 7 Mbps when traffic is backhauled over four or more nodes.
In Iometrix’ first-ever series of independent IEEE 802.11 mesh tests, Strix Systems showed that their outdoor
hardened OWS 2400 nodes spiked with multiple radios raise that bar fivefold to a steady 35 Mbps.”
