But in these environments where

Key takeaways from scaling a mesh network in urban environments
From deployed warfighters to search and rescue teams, mesh networking radios are becoming a common communications fixture for operators on the move. When attempting to coordinate communications and situational awareness amongst a large group of individuals and mission-critical assets, scaling traditional mesh networks has been difficult. Typically, adding more mesh

What’s old is useful again – aerostats and mobile mesh combine to deliver assured comms
