 How much throughput can a 3-hop outdoor Wi-Fi Mesh network deliver? For outdoor wireless equipment developers, extending coverage is only half the challenge. The real question is: how much usable throughput can the network maintain across multiple wireless hops? At WallysTech, we tested our DR5018S Wi-Fi 6 platform in an outdoor 3-hop Mesh configuration. Test results: Outdoor deployment distance: approximately 730 meters Aggregate iperf3 throughput: approximately 621–631 Mbps These results come from a specific test setup. Actual performance depends on the wireless environment, configuration, topology, and deployment conditions. For companies developing outdoor wireless equipment, multi-hop Mesh performance is an important consideration when designing reliable connectivity solutions. At WallysTech, we develop Qualcomm-based wireless hardware and customized software solutions for OEM/ODM applications. When designing outdoor Mesh networks, which matters most to your project: throughp...

 One Radio or Multiple Radios? Build the Wireless Architecture Your Product Really Needs. Not every wireless device has the same requirements. Some applications need reliable Wi-Fi connectivity. Others require simultaneous wireless access, background scanning, network monitoring, or operation across different channels and frequency bands. A single-radio design may be sufficient for simpler applications. But when multiple wireless tasks need to run simultaneously, a multi-radio architecture may provide a more flexible solution. What makes a well-designed multi-radio solution? 🔹 Independent Radio Operation – Enable different wireless functions to operate through separate radio interfaces, subject to platform capabilities. 🔹 Flexible Channel & Band Configuration – Adapt radio configurations to specific application requirements. 🔹 Optimized Hardware Architecture – Balance performance, RF coexistence, antenna design, power consumption, and system cost. 🔹 Customized Software Inte...

 Single-Band, Dual-Band or Tri-Band? Choosing the Right Architecture for Your Wireless Product. if your project needs，Please contact：sales@wallystech.com More frequency bands don't automatically mean a better wireless product. The right configuration depends on your application, radio requirements, network architecture, and overall product design. When developing a wireless device, there are several important considerations: 🔹 Single-Band: A practical choice for applications with specific frequency requirements and simpler hardware configurations. 🔹 Dual-Band: Combines two frequency bands to provide greater flexibility for different connectivity requirements. 🔹 Tri-Band: Offers additional radio and frequency configuration possibilities for more demanding applications and network architectures. But frequency selection is only part of the decision. The number of independent radios, simultaneous operating requirements, antenna configuration, RF coexistence, and software support all...

 Mesh or Point-to-Point? Choosing the Right Wireless Architecture. Please contact：sales@wallystech.com Not every wireless deployment needs the same network architecture. When designing an industrial or outdoor wireless network, choosing between Mesh and Point-to-Point (PtP) can have a significant impact on coverage, network topology, and overall performance. So, what's the difference? 🔹 Mesh Networking Suitable for multi-node deployments where wireless devices need to connect across different areas. It can help extend network coverage and provide flexible network topologies. 🔹 Point-to-Point (PtP) Ideal for establishing a dedicated wireless link between two locations, such as connecting remote buildings, industrial sites, or outdoor facilities. 🔹 TDMA Technology For certain wireless deployments, TDMA can also help coordinate transmission among multiple devices and improve network efficiency. At WallysTech, we develop customized wireless hardware and software solutions supporting...

 Building an OpenWrt Product? Start with the Hardware, Not from Scratch. For networking equipment developers, bringing up a new hardware platform can mean spending valuable engineering time on board support, firmware configuration, flash layout, and Ethernet integration—before product-specific development even begins. WallysTech DR5018S offers a practical starting point for your next OpenWrt-based networking product. Built on the Qualcomm IPQ5018 platform, DR5018S benefits from upstream OpenWrt device support, helping development teams build on existing platform integration rather than repeat every step from scratch. Why consider DR5018S for your next project? A more established starting point: Leverage upstream OpenWrt support for the platform. Less repetitive integration work: Build on existing device configuration and supported interfaces, subject to your target firmware version and hardware configuration. More focus on product differentiation: Put your engineering effort into r...
