Cisco To Unveil Wireless Mesh Hardware
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."
It's so funny how the moderator for our comments assigned score 1, while they are among the few ones that set the facts straight about mesh networks. Moderators if you don't know about something, simply refrain from assigning score to it. Don't be fooled by techno bubble comments like how would the service of a mesh network compare to the service of cellular networks.
Ofcourse this can happen if the mod is a guy with absolutely no knowledge of comp. science and systems and just a guy who knows very well how to configure his 802.11 and idiotic technical stuff like that. We are talking about two totally different systems designed for different purposes and whether or not mesh networking can be used to provide the communication service cell nets currently provide is a completely out of scope question.
