Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) is a wireless multihop self-organized network with mesh-like topology. Mesh routers, connected by wireless links, form the backbone of WMN. With the advantages of low cost, fast deployment, wide coverage and higher rate, WMN is quite suitable to serve the Internet last mile access and also suits the scenario where quick setup is needed or cable line is hard to be laid. Our research work mainly focuses on the wireless Mesh network system development and performance enhancement. By new protocols, our work obtains broad prospects for application. Our wireless Mesh network equipment has been successfully applied to the scenes of smart grid communication, industrial monitoring and the application range will further be expanded in the further.
