Have you ever done the fun little telephone game? Yes, that one where a person whispers a message to another who whispers to another until it gets back to the last person. The message can sometimes get a little lost between the first and last person! Relays are similar to widespread in wireless mesh networks, like the game telephone. Just like the in-game whispers, they assist with sending messages device to device.
These types of devices operate in special groups called wireless mesh networks, and they communicate with one another. All these devices include phones, computers or any other gadget connected to the internet. This network consists of different devices referred to as relays. Relays are a key part of the processing message, as they allow us to send messages from one piece of hardware to another if those pieces of hardware were not close enough together to talk to each other directly. Now, think about how your friend is too far away that he or she cannot hear you; a relay acts like a helper who helps to pass the message.
We need to figure out, first of all that at which places we should keep relay devices in a wireless mesh network. One of the factors is whether the devices that need to communicate with each other will be located close to or far from each other. In case two devices cannot reach one another directly because they are too far or to put it somewhere as relay between them. In this way the relay can play alongside silent partner and help forward messages between devices, like a friend forwarding a whisper.
Another consideration is how many relay devices are required to be connected. The lack of relay devices can make the network slow and become ineffective. However, if you pass it to too many relay devices, they are crowded and the messages may overlap. Getting the number of relays correct and placing them at ideal locations is one of the most crucial factors in making all networks operational.
The relay devices really help in making the wireless mesh network pretty reliable in terms of many aspects. They do this in part by offering backup. Well, consider this: should one device suddenly go down, then another relay can seamlessly swoop in and fill its place to ensure the network operates without a hitch. The network remains connected so that it continues to function and be used by humans.
Relay devices also help minimize interference in the network. Interference occurs when two of the devices are located nearby and wish to send messages simultaneously. This can really mess with signals and make devices not be able to communicate. This network can get a bit clunky, with too much interference between signals bouncing around, which is where relays help by sending messages between the devices and offing up some of that interference to make the entire network far more reliable.
Wireless mesh network solutions from Wind Fire derives optimal relay placements for best network performance by using intelligent ways and incorporating sophisticated techniques. With our solutions, you can increase your network range, offer faster and more reliable connections, and cover large areas smoothly — such as parks or even entire neighborhoods.
