Benefits
?– Wireless flexibility One of the key benefits of an optical wireless mesh network
is the fact that it is a wireless technology that brings with it most of the benefits of
wireless technologies. Such benefits include rapid deployment and the lower cost
of creating an infrastructure.
?– Higher bandwidth For a wireless technology, optical wireless technology excels
in its ability to deliver much higher bandwidth and network capacity, comparable
to that of fiber, than other wireless technologies.
?– Higher network capacity Because of the mesh topology, optical wireless mesh
networks can offer higher end-to-end capacity by utilizing multiple alternate paths
between any two points that may exist in the network. Additionally, mesh networks
also offer higher network capacity by simultaneously utilizing the capacity
of two or more noninterfering regions of the network.
?– Network resiliency Mesh networks find their strength in their ability to route
traffic using alternate paths. This ability gives optical mesh networks a very high
degree of resiliency.
?– Noninterfering and license-free All RF wireless products have the limitation
that they either require a license for exclusive use of an RF spectrum or are vulnerable
to interference from other users of the license-free spectrum.
