IoT Breakthrough: Mesh Networking Revolutionizes Smart City Infrastructure
IoT Breakthrough: Mesh Networking Revolutionizes Smart City Infrastructure A significant advancement in low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) technology is enabling the creation of highly resilient and scalable mesh networks for smart city applications. This breakthrough overcomes limitations of traditional cellular and Wi-Fi networks, leading to broader IoT device deployment and improved data management in urban environments. Enhanced Scalability and Resilience: Traditional smart city IoT deployments often rely on centralized infrastructure (cellular towers, Wi-Fi hotspots), creating single points of failure. Mesh networks, however, distribute network functionality across multiple nodes. Each node acts as both a receiver and transmitter, relaying data to other nodes until it reaches its destination. This eliminates the need for a constant connection to a central server. If one node fails, the network automatically reroutes data through other available nodes, significantly enhancing ...
