Mesh networking provides users wireless access to broadband applications anywhere (even in a moving vehicle). Initially developed for secure and reliable military battlefield communications, mesh technology supports public safety, public access and public works. Mesh technology reduces the expense of wide-scale networks, by leveraging Wi-Fi enabled devices already deployed.
Mesh points are APs dedicated to mesh network support. Mesh points capture and disseminate their own data and serve as a relay for other nodes.
Note
The WiNG 7.1 release does not support MeshConnex on AP505 and AP510 model access points. This feature will be supported in future releases.
