Mesh Technology

What is Mesh Technology?

Mesh technology is a networking architecture that uses multiple devices, called nodes, to create a distributed network.

Unlike traditional networks that rely on a single router or access point to provide coverage, mesh networks use multiple nodes to extend coverage and eliminate dead zones. Each node in a mesh network acts as a repeater, relaying the signal to other nodes until it reaches its destination. Mesh networks are designed to be scalable, flexible, and resilient. They can be expanded easily by adding additional nodes to the network, and they can adapt to changing conditions such as interference or network congestion. Because each node in a mesh network is connected to other nodes, they can also provide redundancy and failover capabilities, ensuring that the network remains operational even if one or more nodes fail. Mesh networks are ideal for environments where a single router or access point may not provide adequate coverage, such as large homes or multi-story buildings. They can also be used in outdoor settings or in remote locations where traditional networking infrastructure may not be available. However, mesh networks can be more expensive than traditional networks, and they may require more configuration and management to set up and maintain.
