Mesh radio is an innovative approach to delivering broadband access to residential and small business customers It makes every customers equipment capable of providing service to its neighbours.
Instead of using a central base station to serve all customers with in a radius of a few kilometres, it makes every customers equipment capable of providing service to its neighbours Originally developed for Military application The mesh radio avoids base stations and allows low power micro wave devices in the nodes.
The coverage area of radio nodes working as a single network is called mesh cloud.
Each wireless device is capable of acting as a router as well as an end station.
ADVANTAGES :
The mesh radio allow to deliver high-capacity and high-quality services to customers.
*
The mesh radio avoids base stations and allows low power micro wave devices in the nodes. This reduces the startup costs.
*
New customers do not need to be able to see a central base station, they only need to see? an existing customers antenna.
*
compared with cell phones mesh technology may raise fewer concerns over radiation health effects
*
* A mesh network offers multiple redundant communications paths throughout the network.
* It allows free flow of information without any
moderation or selective rate control. Compared to the large DSL and cable modem systems that are centrally managed * Power levels will be less than one watt; whereas cell phone masts push out eight watts * If one link fails for any reason, the network automatically routes messages through alternate paths.
VoIP system uses session control protocol like SIP to set up and tear down of calls as well as audio codecs which encode speech allowing transmission over a mesh network as digital audio via an audio
MESH TOPOLOGY :
It is referred to as peer-to-peer or multipointto-multipoint topologies. Enables network expansion. Provides a self-healing architecture. It consists of an outdoor radio unit and an indoor service presentation unit.
The nodes can all communicate with each other even though they are not necessarily all within direct radio range
MESH FOR LONG RANGE AND TACTICAL SDR OR LEGACY RADIO SYSTEMS
Packet radio communication with dynamic, scalable and redundant topology via multi-hop enabled mesh data forwarding.
DISADVANTAGES :
It is new Technology and experiment still on going. Not possible to use in large area network. Still having problems with Data Send & Receive technology.
