Network introduction

[zh_CN]

The Wi-Fi Mesh technology is mainly divided into two types: mesh topology based on the IEEE 802.11s standard and tree topology based on the WFA EasyMesh standard. Each type of mesh has its own advantages and disadvantages.

The BK Wi-Fi Mesh combines the advantages of 802.11s and EasyMesh to achieve a dual topology network structure featuring both mesh and tree structures. At the same time, it employs a private communication mechanism, which results in lower transmission latency and better stability during network communication.

The following is a schematic diagram of BK Wi Fi Mesh:

The following are the main functions of BK Wi Fi Mesh:

  • Support LAN Mesh network and WAN Mesh network.

  • Support APP and cloud based distribution and network control of Mesh networks. Among them, the APP connects to a Mesh node in the near field, which can complete the configuration and control of the entire Mesh network without being limited by the distance and location of other device nodes.

  • Support the differentiation and configuration of multiple Mesh groups to meet the networking needs of multiple Mesh networks

  • Stable network anomaly detection and self-healing recovery mechanism make the network more stable

  • Supports mesh network capacities for 50, 100, 150, 200 nodes and more, addressing the pain points of Wi-Fi mesh network capacity.

  • A distinctive OTA (Over-The-Air) upgrade strategy ensures that the version upgrades of the Mesh network are fast, simple, and stable.

  • Within a Mesh network, any node can communicate with each other

  • Support non Mesh Wi Fi devices to connect to Mesh networks and expand network connectivity

  • Support customer customized information to be securely transmitted through Mesh network, such as controlling or obtaining device status, etc

  • Provides rich interfaces and exclusive SDKs for customers to develop easily

  • Based on actual deployment, the fast automatic distribution network networking function simplifies user operations, and can visualize the entire network topology through the APP, making device connection relationships clear at a glance

Note

Network capacity is related to network deployment. The larger the capacity, the greater the transmission delay and lower the throughput.
