How much throughput can a 3-hop outdoor Wi-Fi Mesh network deliver?
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...
