Wireless Mesh Networks to Use Commercial Aircrafts as Satellites

Growing necessity for high-speed broadband connectivity owing to increased use of compatible wireless devices such as mobile phones can impel demand for wireless mesh networks. Adoption of technologies such as 3G, 4G, and LTE to can provide better connectivity and is likely to influence the availability of advanced networks.


Disaster Management and Rescue Operations to Witness Impressive Rise

Major application variants of wireless mesh network are home networking, video surveillance, disaster management & rescue operations, medical device connectivity, and traffic management. Disaster management and rescue operations are expected to emerge as the dominating applications owing to increasing number of climatic disasters. Growing necessity to improve the rescue operations can augment demand for advanced wireless mesh networks.

To cater to this rising demand, most networking companies are focusing on R&D activities to build innovative wireless networks. For instance, Airborne Wireless Network (ABWN) is likely to launch its wireless mess network named “Infinitus Super Highway”. This new network can provide high-speed broadband airborne wireless network by creating links between multiple commercial aircrafts. Using this network, high-speed data can be transferred from aircraft-to-ground, aircraft-to-aircraft, and vice versa. The company has already tested the network in Roswell New Mexico by streaming videos at a speed of around one gigabit per second.

Market Insights

The global wireless mesh network market is projected to reach USD 11.13 billion by 2025, according to a report by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing adoption of the internet of things (IoT) coupled with wireless communication medium and artificial intelligence is likely to drive growth of the market. High demand for innovative traffic management solutions owing to increasing congestion problems can augment market growth over the forecast period (2017 to 2025). Increasing use of handsets and mobile devices owing to availability of suitable technologies is expected to impel demand for wireless communication network. Moreover, rising demand for improved communication facilities from chemical and oil & gas industry in remote areas can further fuel growth in near future.

Some of the prominent players operating in the market for wireless mesh network are Strix Wireless Systems Private Ltd; Tropos Networks, Inc.; Cisco Systems, Inc.; Aruba Networks Inc.; and Ruckus Wireless, Inc.
