The Market is Growing “By getting rid of cables, companies can cheaply place Internet access points in hard-to-reach places. It’s possible to establish a clear financial advantage for meshes in many cases. ” - Craig J. Mathias, Farpoint Group Given the advantages, experts believe mesh networks may dramatically alter inventory management and logistics. - CFO Magazine www. planet. com. tw 10 / 42
