Wireless mesh networking is not for everyone. But, when it makes business sense, it works the best.
Overall, a wireless mesh network is a communications network made up of radio nodes organized in a mesh topology. Wireless mesh networks often consist of mesh clients, mesh routers and gateways. The mesh clients are often laptops, cellphones and other wireless devices while the mesh routers forward traffic to and from the gateways which may, but need not, connect to the Internet.
