What are Wireless Mesh Nodes? Consist of nodes that have small radio

transmitters Function same way as wireless routers

Practice Nodes

Description: Frame size 64-1580 bytes TCP/UDP

Size of available packets to send and receive

Running Tests at different speeds of mobility

Progress We learned how

to use HotView softwareMesh

Management Software

Able to set up virtual mesh nodes

We were able to ping two computers using mesh nodes

Streaming of Audio VideoLive Video

Tested strength of nodesDistance

Pinging led to:

What we learned?We learned how to: Physically connect two mesh nodes

Set up software in order to run nodes

Transfer data between to nodes

Ping nodes in order to confirm connectivity

Set up local IP addresses, gateways, and default gateways

Obstacles Spent a lot of time trying to

communicate with company

Hardware Failure

Data Loss

Disclaimer

Project is on going, therefore, the amount of progress was limited to time
