Mesh

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.

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.
