KAUMesh
KAUMesh is an experimental Wireless Broadband Mesh Network based on 802.11a/b/g WLAN based devices (the mesh node) that has been deployed at the Karlstad University Campus. KAUMesh comprises currently 20 mesh nodes, which are permanently installed to cover large areas inside the House 21. Researchers and students from Karlstad University and partner organisations use KAUMesh to develop and evaluate next-generation WLAN and Wireless Mesh solutions.
Currently the KAUMesh testbed provides the following features:
- 3 IEEE 802.11a/b/g wireless cards per node
- Each node has an Ethernet connection for control and logging
- Remote reset of nodes
- Integrated node reservation and access control system
- Graphical monitoring tools
- A wide range of routing protocols and traffic generators
Planned features:
- Integration with PlanetLab and GpENI
- Mobile nodes and opportunistic connectivity
Currently access to KAUMesh is only available to staff and students at Karlstad University and its partner organisations.
