Switched mesh is one of three distinct types of configuration of wireless mesh networking products in the market today: •
single radio shared mesh in the first type one radio provides both backhaul (packet relaying) and client services (access to a laptop). •
dual radio shared mesh in the second type one radio relays packets over multiple hops while another provides client access. This significantly improves backhaul bandwidth and
latency. •
switched mesh the third type uses two or more radios for the backhaul for higher bandwidth and low latency. Third generation wireless mesh networking products are replacing previous generation products as more demanding applications like voice and video need to be relayed over many hops in the mesh network. ==See also==
