Mesh networks enable you to expand the wireless network by interconnecting the wireless APs through wireless links in addition to the traditional method of interconnecting wireless APs via a wired network.

A Mesh deployment is ideally suited for locations where installing Ethernet cabling is too expensive, or physically impossible.
The Mesh network can be deployed in three configurations:
