infrastructure mesh

infrastructure mesh definition - telecom
In wireless local area networks (WLANs), a node mesh, that is, a mesh by which the majority of access points (APs) interconnect on a peer-to-peer basis through wireless RF links, with only those at the logical edge of the mesh connecting back to the wired LAN domain. An infrastructure mesh eliminates the requirement for cabling from the APs or wireless routers to wired ports on switches, or for cabling between APs. See also AP, mesh topology, pure mesh, RF, and WLAN.
