Wireless Mesh networks are more and more frequently seen as a solution to large-scale tracking and monitoring applications, because of their low-data-rate, low-energy-consumption, and short-range link network which provides an opportunity to monitor and control the physical world to a previously unprecedented scale and resolution. I believe that this broad targeted audience is an attractive feature of this book, as most of the very limited selection of WMN books currently available were written primarily for academic researchers or as a textbook, presenting the fundamental basic concepts while providing, little guidance on how to carry out the actual design process. This book is unique in bringing together wireless communication principles with actual WMN design processes. It will enable readers to become increasingly capable in exploiting fully the new technologies described here in their research or industrial work
