Cisco To Unveil Wireless Mesh Hardware

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the no-strings-to-hold-me-down dept.

An anonymous reader writes "CRN is reporting that Cisco will enter the wireless mesh networking fray next week. Since aquiring Airespace Cisco has been working hard to bring their own mesh technology to fruition. The new solution will target businesses who wish to move the traditional Wi-Fi network outside and possibly cover large regions."

    Well, I would have to disagree with you on that. Look around you, note how many stupid people you can find in a 100yd radius! (Heck, look at half the posters on /. including me).

    it seems to me that WiFi plus some nice software should make a mesh. Doesn't seem like a hardware thing to me.

    Doesn't have to be a hardware thing, but when you're Cisco, everything should be solved with hardware.

    If by handled well you mean 'hang up on you' then I agree, cell phones do this well already.
