The need for low-cost , low-latency transmissions
For a drone or swarm of drones , omnidirectional coverage over an extended area and the simultaneous provision of video surveillance and other situational data is required .
Similarly , ground and water ve- hicles need to be able to roam and move freely , and a wire- less mesh network can provide the reliable , redundant con- nectivity required to expand the network as assets move .
Moreover , a mesh structure en- sures that there is no single point of failure , and support is provided for a wide range of frequencies so that bandwidth is always available .
Robots can be armed with cameras , two-way radios , and other sensors when used in se- curity and public safety ap- plications . These systems not only need communications to move and navigate optimally , but they demand high-bandwidth , low-latency connectiv- ity .
Transmissions may be delayed if systems need to access cellu- lar towers or transmit through the cloud to communicate be- tween connected devices .
