Editor to share with you what the meaning of mesh networking means, I believe most people do not know much about it, so share this article for your reference, I hope you will learn a lot after reading this article, let's go to know it!

Mesh group network refers to "wireless grid network", which is a "multi-hop multi-hop" network, developed from ad hoc network, and is one of the key technologies to solve the "last kilometer" problem; wireless mesh can cooperate with other networks and is a dynamic network architecture that can be expanded continuously, and any two devices can maintain wireless interconnection.

Mesh networking, that is, "wireless grid network", is a "multi-hop (multi-hop)" network, developed from ad hoc network, and is one of the key technologies to solve the "last kilometer" problem. Wireless is an indispensable technology in the process of evolution to the next generation network.

Wireless mesh can cooperate with other networks. It is a dynamic and expandable network architecture, and any two devices can maintain wireless interconnection. With the characteristics of multi-hop interconnection and mesh topology, wireless Mesh network has evolved into an effective solution for a variety of wireless access networks, such as broadband home network, community network, enterprise network and metropolitan area network.

Wireless Mesh routers form a self-organizing network by means of multi-hop interconnection, which provides higher reliability, wider service coverage and lower upfront investment cost for WMN networking.

1. Easy deployment and installation

Installing the Mesh node is very simple, just take the device out of the box and plug it in. Due to the great simplification of installation, users can easily add new nodes to expand the coverage and capacity of the wireless network. In wireless Mesh networks, not every Mesh node needs a wired cable connection, which is the biggest difference between it and wired AP.

Mesh is designed to minimize the number of wired devices and wired AP, thus greatly reducing the total cost of ownership and installation time, and the cost savings from this alone are significant. The configuration and other network management functions of wireless Mesh network are the same as traditional WLAN, and users' experience in using WLAN can be easily applied to Mesh network.

2 、 NLOS

NLOS configuration can be easily realized by using wireless Mesh technology, so it has a wide application prospect in outdoor and public places. A user who has a direct sight distance from the transmitting station first receives the wireless signal, and then forwards the received signal to the user who does not have a direct line of sight.

In this way, the signal can automatically choose the best path to jump from one user to another, and finally reach the target user without direct sight distance. In this way, users with direct sight distance actually provide wireless broadband access for neighboring users who do not have direct sight distance. The non-line-of-sight transmission of wireless Mesh network greatly expands the application field and coverage of wireless broadband.

3. Stability

The usual way to achieve network stability is to use multiple routers to transmit data. If one router fails, the information is sent by other routers over an alternate path. One such example is E-mail, where mail messages are divided into packets, then sent through multiple routers through Internet, and finally assembled into messages that arrive in the user's inbox.

Mesh networks are more robust than single-hop networks because they do not depend on the performance of a single node. In a single-hop network, if a node fails, the whole network will be paralyzed. In the Mesh network structure, because each node has one or more paths to transmit data.

4. High bandwidth

The physical characteristics of wireless communication determine that the shorter the distance of communication transmission, the easier it is to obtain high bandwidth, because with the increase of wireless transmission distance, all kinds of interference and other factors leading to data loss increase. Therefore, choosing to transmit data through multiple short hops will be an effective way to obtain higher network bandwidth, which is the advantage of Mesh network.
