Network Infrastructure in Rural Areas of Zambia (Language: English)Wireless Mesh Network (configuring and a case study):
A wireless mesh network (WMN) consists of mesh nodes that form the backbone of the network. The nodes are able to configure automatically and re-configure dynamically to maintain the mesh connectivity. This gives the mesh its “self-forming” and “self-healing” characteristics. This self-sufficient relationship between the mesh nodes removes the need for centralized management. Intelligent routing allow mesh nodes to route data packets for other. Thus information nodes that may not be within direct wireless range of each can be routed from source to destination over multiple hops about the 3 Major Mesh networks we have here in Zambia.Oscar Kaate
