A wireless mesh network is one that is made up of separate inter-connected nodes that organise to form a communicating mesh topology through radio. In control and monitoring infrastructure, nodes are made up of adapters, interface modules, sensors and access points, which in turn enable devices to connect to each other and the World Wide Web, if desired. Nodes can be fixed or mobile, providing a diverse range of applications.
