Wireless repeaters and mesh networks are both technologies that can be used to extend network coverage over a given area. Wireless repeaters work by taking an existing wireless signal and re ...

Today’s wireless LAN mesh networks use standards-based 802.11a/b/g, but they can be extended to any radio-frequency technology, such as UltraWideband or 802.15.4 Zigbee. Because network ...

Intel's Network Architecture Lab has unveiled some of its ideas about a wireless system called mesh networking, which could massively increase bandwidth and reliability.

A mesh network is created by connecting devices like computers and mobile phones through a "peer to peer" method -- meaning that instead of using an Internet service provider's connection through ...

A wireless mesh is a mesh network like any other, but the links between nodes are implemented with a radio of some form. This means, most importantly, that the number of possible links between a ...

What does wireless mesh network actually mean? Find out inside PCMag's comprehensive tech and computer-related encyclopedia.

It supported 240 users. Mesh has its downsides, he says, but those are common to all wireless networks – susceptibility to lightning, interference from other devices, power outages.

A mesh network is a LAN (usually wireless) where each node is connected to many others, configured to allow connections to be rerouted around broken or blocked paths, with the signal hopping from ...

Tech industry heavyweights such as Cisco and Intel believe mesh techniques are the logical next step for the wireless networks that are increasingly ubiquitous in offices, homes and public places.

Mesh access points are rare in indoor enterprise-class WLAN products. In 2006, Meru Networks unveiled a wireless backhaul between its access points and controller, and Firetide ‘s wireless ...

What is a wireless mesh network? The concept of mesh networks first appeared in the 1980s in military experiments, and it became available in high-end production hardware in the 1990s.
