What are the most common wireless network designs, and when should you use each?

由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

Wireless networks are essential for connecting devices and users in various settings, such as homes, offices, schools, and public places. However, not all wireless networks are the same. Depending on the size, purpose, and requirements of the network, different wireless network designs can be used to optimize performance, security, and reliability. In this article, you will learn about the most common wireless network designs, and when should you use each.

1 Ad hoc network

An ad hoc network is a simple and temporary wireless network that does not rely on any central infrastructure, such as routers or access points. Instead, the devices communicate directly with each other using a common wireless protocol, such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. An ad hoc network is suitable for small groups of devices that need to share data or resources quickly and easily, without any configuration or installation. For example, you can use an ad hoc network to transfer files between laptops, print documents from a smartphone, or play multiplayer games with friends.

2 Infrastructure network

An infrastructure network is a more stable and permanent wireless network that uses one or more access points (APs) to connect the devices to a wired network, such as the Internet. The APs act as bridges between the wireless and wired networks, and also coordinate the traffic and channels among the devices. An infrastructure network is suitable for larger and more complex networks that need to support more devices, provide wider coverage, and ensure higher security and quality of service. For example, you can use an infrastructure network to create a home network with multiple devices, a wireless local area network (WLAN) for an office or a school, or a wireless hotspot for a coffee shop or a hotel.

Infrastruktur-Netzwerke sind g?ngige Designs für drahtlose Netzwerke. Sie verwenden eine zentrale Infrastruktur, um die Kommunikation zwischen Ger?ten zu koordinieren. Geeignet für gr??ere Netzwerke, in denen Stabilit?t und Skalierbarkeit wichtig sind. Ad-hoc-Netzwerke sind tempor?re Netzwerke ohne zentrale Infrastruktur. Geeignet für spontane Situationen oder den Austausch von Informationen in kleinen Teams. #WirelessNetworking #Infrastructure #AdHoc

Among enterprises, it is a widely used network.Currently, the network infrastructure uses the most recent wireless access points for high performance and efficiency.The WiFi 6 access point is very good and will soon be upgraded to WiFi 7 for low-latency devices that can transmit data at great speeds in the network.

3 Mesh network

A mesh network is a flexible and resilient wireless network that consists of multiple nodes that can act as both devices and APs. The nodes can communicate with each other directly or through intermediate nodes, forming a dynamic and self-healing network topology. A mesh network is suitable for networks that need to adapt to changing conditions, such as traffic, interference, or node failure, and provide continuous connectivity and scalability. For example, you can use a mesh network to extend the coverage of an existing network, create a wireless backbone for a remote or rural area, or deploy a wireless sensor network for monitoring or surveillance.

Die gebr?uchlichsten Designs für drahtlose Netzwerke sind zellul?re Netzwerke, Mesh-Netzwerke und Satellitennetzwerke. Zellul?re Netzwerke sind weit verbreitet und bieten eine gute Abdeckung und Kapazit?t. Mesh-Netzwerke bieten hohe Redundanz und Ausfallsicherheit, w?hrend Satellitennetzwerke für entlegene Gebiete geeignet sind. Die Wahl des Designs h?ngt von den Anforderungen ab. #WirelessNetworking #Cellular #Mesh #Satellite

Mesh networks are also a good option for wireless network infrastructure for residential customers, as they do not require cabling work. Today's latest devices have mesh networks that are easy to configure via apps, and have AI based apps that are especially useful for customers who take their devices places, and are easy to carry, plug in, and use.

4 Cellular network

A cellular network is a widespread and sophisticated wireless network that uses cellular towers and base stations to provide mobile voice and data services to the devices. The cellular network is divided into geographic areas called cells, each served by a different frequency or channel. The devices can switch from one cell to another seamlessly as they move around, maintaining a constant connection to the network. A cellular network is suitable for networks that need to provide high-speed and reliable wireless communication over large distances and across different regions. For example, you can use a cellular network to make phone calls, send text messages, browse the web, or stream videos on your smartphone, tablet, or laptop.

because the cellular network doesn't require extra infrastructure from the subscribers' side, we can easily connect to the network merely by a simple mobile device.

5 Satellite network

A satellite network is a global and advanced wireless network that uses satellites orbiting the earth to provide wireless communication to the devices. The satellites act as relay stations that receive and transmit signals from and to the devices, as well as ground stations that connect the satellite network to the terrestrial network. A satellite network is suitable for networks that need to provide wireless communication to remote or inaccessible areas, where other wireless networks are not available or feasible. For example, you can use a satellite network to access the Internet, make phone calls, or send data from a rural village, a mountain peak, a desert island, or a polar region.

Satellite networks play a crucial role in connecting remote areas and providing communication services in places where terrestrial networks are unavailable or have limited capacity. The technology is widely used in telecommunications, broadcasting, and military applications. Satellite networks will continue to play a vital role in bridging the digital divide as the demand for reliable and efficient communication grows.
