Abstract

Delivery of broadband telecommunication services in specific environments is often more easily realized by wireless systems than by roll out of cable networks. However, mobile and wireless broadband connectivity traditionally is also associated with extensive planning efforts and large investments. Wireless mesh network (WMN) technology, which is typically known for low infrastructure cost, rapid deployment, and simplified planning and maintenance is seen as a potential solution to this problem. Provision of security and Quality of Service (QoS) can be established by applying corresponding conceptual enhancements. Focus of this paper is to give an overview on technical achievements and application scenarios for carrier-grade WMNs.
