Cisco to venture into the wireless mesh arena
Cisco Systems is set to launch a line of products for setting up indoor and outdoor wireless networks using wireless mesh network technology. According to the article, they plan to use their proprietary Adaptive Wireless Path Protocol - a mesh routing technology designed to allow the wireless network to self-configure, self-optimize, resist interference and network downtime, and reduce network deployment costs.
Google had earlier announced to offer free WiFi network for San Francisco using mesh networking.
