Hyper-Scalable Edge Mesh Networks for IoT Applications
We’re surrounded by intelligent things: smartphones, self-driving vehicles, smart homes, and even smart cities. Millions of sensors generate, process, and transmit countless amounts of data to make our lives easier, safer, and more comfortable. However, there are still a lot of challenges that need to be dealt with, from the high cost of hardware and technologies to the slow speed of data transfer. Mesh networking is a promising approach to organizing device-to-device communication within Internet of Things (IoT) platforms. With its help, IoT networks can work faster and more efficiently without requiring expensive hardware or consuming too much power. But is mesh networking the silver bullet for every IoT project. Why is it so complicated to organize IoT wireless communication? T o better understand the role of mesh networking in the IoT world, we need to look closer at IoT communication hardware and basic communication requirements for IoT devices. An IoT network can consist of...
