How does a mesh network work?
A. Each node in a mesh network is a wireless router that connects to every other node in the system by forwarding data to neighboring nodes until the data reaches its final destination. This wireless peer-to-peer forwarding of data eliminates the need for wired networking infrastructure, greatly reducing the cost and time to deploy a network. Q. What is a RapidLink router? A. A router (also called a node, station or pod) is a device that forwards data to its neighbors in a mesh network. RapidLink routers transmit data instantly, intelligently, and securely over the wireless network consisting of any number of autonomous nodes that, together, make up the data system.
