Deploying Wireless Mesh: How it all comes together
This is an excerpt from my blog post at securityinfowatch. For the entire post please click here.
Wireless Mesh seems to still be misunderstood so I though I would put down a couple of pointers explaining how it works at a high level and focusing on throughput of course, we are talking about video here… Wireless mesh networks require a good amount of planning and unfortunately are not as easy to deploy properly as most vendors would like you to think, but can be useful for specific applications. Here is a top down diagram of the different parts of a wireless mesh network.
A wireless mesh network normally spans a large area of land and therefore requires a distributed architecture in order to make it work. The diagram above attempts to break down the typical components of a wireless mesh network. You may notice that I used Motorola Canopy Visio stencils to make this diagram but I only did that because those were the only stencils I had and Moto has a nice representation on their website that helped me put this together. I am not endorsing a specific manufacturer in this blog and recommend that you look through the many manufacturers and find the one that is right for your application.
