Wi-Fi Alliance's EasyMesh Boosts Wireless Networks
People have done everything in their power to increase Wi-Fi signal strength! It all started with better antennas and better cables, but in the end everyone realized that a single router can't provide enough Wi-Fi signal for an entire home. This explains why mesh networks, systems that utilize several routers which are placed in different areas and work together, were the next logical step.
And now, Wi-Fi Alliance has invented EasyMesh, a new type of mesh architecture that utilizes several access points to create a self-adapting Wi-Fi network, which has the potential to offer a great wireless coverage in outdoor areas and indoor spaces. Unlike the existing meshes, the custom EasyMesh solution makes each network client (each wireless device) communicate with each access point, until the best Wi-Fi signal is found. The two criteria which are taken by EasyMesh into account are signal strength and the lack of interference.
The good news is that EasyMesh can make various access points, which have been produced by several manufacturers, work together in harmony. The system offers automatic onboarding and configuration for each new device that is connected to the mesh network.
EasyMesh is also scalable, making it really easy for people and companies to increase the range of their Wi-Fi networks by simply adding more access points to it.
