Connecting with a wireless world
A mesh network is a way to ensure that data is properly conveyed to other systems within the network. This is an expansion on point-to-point networking because if a device in the chain is broken or fails, it does not disrupt the data transfer. Each device creates a ‘node’ that can create unique information but also passes data from other devices within the network.
