Re: Mesh networking in Switzerland
Hey Daniel,
I think what you're looking for are dual-radio access points, which
use one radio for mesh-network and the other for communication with
their clients.
I know of one company offering this, I actually have same APs from
them that I wanted to use for testing, but didn't have the time yet...
