  Wireless mesh network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mesh networks are also extremely reliable, as each node is connected to several other nodes.
In a traditional wireless network where laptops connect to a single access point, each laptop has to share a fixed pool of bandwidth.
Since this wireless Internet infrastructure has the potential to be much cheaper than the traditional type, many wireless community network groups are already creating wireless mesh networks.

 Mesh networking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mesh networks are self-healing: the network can still operate even when a node breaks down or a connection goes bad.
A mesh network is a networking technique which allows inexpensive peer network nodes to supply back haul services to other nodes in the same network.
Mesh networks differ from other networks in that the component parts can all connect to each other via multiple hops, and they generally are not mobile.

 O'Reilly Network -- Wireless Mesh Networking
The subject of this article is mesh networks, another technology that is gradually maturing to a point where it cannot be ignored when considering various wireless networking technologies for deployment.
However, in recent years, and in connection with wireless networks, the term "mesh" is often used as a synonym for "ad hoc" or "mobile" network.
While the 50% reduction in bandwidth is the most qouted limitation of single radio mesh networks, there are others related to the fact that all radios share the same channel and hence the network as a whole is extremely vulnerable to channel interference from adjacent networks or external effects.

 What is mesh network? - a definition from Whatis.com
In the partial mesh topology, some nodes are connected to all the others, but some of the nodes are connected only to those other nodes with which they exchange the most data.
Mesh networks work well when the nodes are located at scattered points that do not lie near a common line.
The chief drawback of the mesh topology is expense, because of the large number of cables and connections required.

In contrast, wireless mesh networks are 'multihop' systems in which devices assist each other in transmitting packets through the network, especially in adverse conditions.
A mesh network is self-healing because human intervention is not necessary for re-routing of messages.
Point-to-multipoint networks can handle more end points, but their reliability is determined by the placement of the access point and end points.
