Introduction
Mesh Radio is a new Broadband Fixed Wireless Access architecture
that avoids the limitations of point to multi-point systems.
A series of point-topoint links are set up between nodes mounted on
customers homes, avoiding the cost of conventional base stations.
Mesh Topology
Mesh topology networks, sometimes referred to as peer-to-peer or
multipoint-to-multipoint, offer significant benefits over PtP and PtMP
topologies.
In addition to being the most flexible broadband wireless topology,
mesh technology: (1) enables network expansion; (2) provides a selfhealing architecture; (3) reduces implementation and operating costs;
and (4) facilitates mobile applications.

Higher bandwidth:
One way to get more bandwidth out of the network, is to
transmit data across multiple short hops.
That's what a mesh network does.
Additionally, because little power is required to transmit data
over short distances, a mesh network can support higher
bandwidth overall despite FCC regulations that limit
maximum transmission power.
Spatial reuse:
Spatial reuse is another benefit of mesh over single-hop networks.
As noted earlier, in a single-hop network, devices must share an AP.
Spectrally efficient:
Mesh radio is also far more spectrally efficient than point to
multi-point systems, because the 'narrow' beams are much
less likely to interfere with each other.
The spectrum can therefore be re-used over and over in any
area
This means that, in any given spectrum allocation, up to ten
times as many customers can be served at the same data rate
compared with point to multi-point
Power:
The substrate nodes of a mesh network can be built with
extremely low power requirements, meaning that they can
be deployed as completely autonomous units with solar,
wind, or hydro power.
