Implementação e análise de desempenho wi-fi utilizando redes Mesh de baixo custo

Abstract

The search of the human being technologies that bring Internet to all places of the globe, and if possible at low cost, is becoming more notorious. In this context, Mesh Networks greatly facilitate this process, because the tiny costs brings the web and all his power of communication, learn and entertainment to any environment where it is needed. Networks Wireless Mesh recently emerged with a high level of robustness as they support clients that communicate with different types of devices (mobile phone, notebook, tablet, ...) offering safely and quality internet; This structure consists of own routers and clients that can act as routers, giving to the technology a high degree when it comes to mobility. Experiments conducted around the world show how the Mesh networks can improve the context of a whole society, culminating there are cities with up to 400,000 people using the same network. This paper aims to outline a metric to apply a Mesh Network, whatever if is the case of simulation tests in an academic environment or as deployment to use the community that spills the Medianeira campus of the Federal Technological University of Paraná. It is intended for this, evaluate the costs and study about other efficient technologies por WMAN.
