Description
Mesh does not stand-alone. It is a component of a total WiFi networking solution today for municipalities seeking broadband Internet access. Deployed in a number of communities, WiFi mesh networking has not yet completely demonstrated whether it is scalable enough for a large municipality to serve public Internet access requirements and if so, which vendor solutions will prevail.

In this report Tech Research Services examines the state of the wireless mesh networking market and how it relates to WiFi technology and is used in a municipality. Also reviewed is the Philadelphia, PA wireless mesh network deployment. The Philadelphia deployment is examined because if successful it will demonstrate if WiFi mesh networks are scalable enough for a large municipality. The Philadelphia PA deployment is also closely examined because of the scale of the project and the type of communities involved within the planned coverage area.

This report provides an overview of the market and technology, and a look at the current Philadelphia, PA implementation. A profile on each leading wireless mesh vendor offering products to municipalities is also provided.
