Mesh Systems

Distributed mesh coverage for spaces that cannot take a cable to every access point.

Self-healing mesh for villas, retrofits and outdoor spaces where cabling is impractical.

Villa interior where wireless coverage has to reach through solid construction

02 / The foundation

Not every environment allows a cable to every access point. Heritage buildings, retrofitted spaces and some outdoor environments call for wireless mesh — where access points backhaul to one another instead of to a switch.

Zentrum uses mesh where it is the honest answer — with realistic expectations of the trade-offs, and with as much wired backhaul as the space allows.

03 / System anatomy

How the infrastructure is put together.

Mesh works best when you have not been forced into it. Bringing wireless design into the project early is what gives the option of a wired backhaul, a mesh only where it is genuinely needed, and honest coverage where it matters most.

  1. 01 /

    The building fabric

    Concrete cores, block walls, glass and metal decide where signal actually goes — before any hardware is chosen.

  2. 02 /

    Wired infrastructure

    Cabling, containment and PoE capacity reaching every position an access point may need to occupy.

  3. 03 /

    Access-point positions

    Positions set by the plan and the ceiling detail, coordinated with lighting, sprinklers and the interior.

    • Interior
    • Circulation
    • Outdoor
  4. 04 /

    Coverage

    Signal reaching the spaces people use, including stairs, lifts, terraces and back-of-house areas.

  5. 05 /

    Capacity

    Enough throughput for the number of devices in a room at once — coverage and capacity are not the same problem.

    • Device density
    • Throughput
  6. 06 /

    Roaming

    One network name and a clean hand-off as people move between floors, buildings and outdoor areas.

Outcome /

Wireless that behaves the same in every room.

Conceptual only — real coverage is set per project against the drawings and the materials in the build.

Conceptual wireless coverage diagram: the building fabric informs wired infrastructure, which reaches coordinated access-point positions, producing coverage, then capacity for device density, and finally seamless roaming between areas.

04 / Design principles

What we hold the installation to.

  • Mesh design

    Node placement planned against materials, distances and the number of clients.

  • Backhaul strategy

    Wired backhaul used wherever it is possible, wireless backhaul only where it must be.

  • Roaming

    Handover between mesh nodes tuned so devices behave as they move.

  • Segmentation

    SSID structure and VLANs treated as part of the design, not an afterthought.

  • Management

    Controller or cloud management the team can operate.

05 / Applications

Where this goes in.

Private residences

Villas and apartments where the technology has to sit inside the interior rather than beside it.
