Network: T-Mobile's 4G LTE network runs on LTE bands 4 and 12. These bands use the frequencies 1900, 1700 def and 700a. For phones using 2G or 3G network technology, the T-Mobile network will primarily use the 1900 MHz frequency. Coverage: At last check, T-Mobile ranked #3 in overall coverage in the U.S.

As the 4th largest wireless provider in the U.S., T-Mobile is taking many steps to keep their mobile phone services up to speed with AT&T, Verizon and Sprint. With a brand new 4G network, T-Mobile wireless Internet is currently on of the fastest wireless networks.

T-Mobile's 4G wireless network was launched at the end of 2010 and, on average, is about three times faster than current 3G networks.

The key to T-Mobile's faster 4G speeds is a technology called HSPA+. This stands for High Speed Packet Access Plus. For 3G, both AT&T and T-Mobile setup HSPA networks, while Verizon and Sprint used a different 3G technology called CDMA. With the recent upgrade from normal HSPA to HSPA+, T-Mobile's network now has download speeds of 5 to 8 Mbps on average, with faster bursts possible.

T-Mobile's 4G devices will also work with their 3G networks, so you don't have to worry about compatibility issues while traveling outside of 4G coverage areas. T-Mobile is also keeping the prices for their 4G data plans quite low. They have a $10/month plan for 200 MB per month, and a $30/month plan for unlimited Web and email access.

Some of the major selling points for T-Mobile wireless Internet include:

• HSPA+ 4G Network - Download speed of around 5 to 8 Mbps on average.
• 4G Coverage - Over 200 million people covered in 100 major markets.
• Backward Compatible - Non-HSPA+ handsets also receive a speed increase.
• Multiple Plans - Voice-only, voice & text, or voice, text & mobile data plans.
• Streaming Video - Watch steaming videos without being connected to Wi-Fi.
• Google Android - New smartphones using the Android operating system.
• Tablet PCs - Use new tablets on T-Mobile's network, like the Dell™ Streak™ 7.

Although you might read marketing data from T-Mobile that claims 21 Mbps downloads, please note that is the theoretical maximum. For consumer evaluation purposes, it is better to stick to the average speeds shown by multiple tests (the 5 to 8 Mbps average). Still, with most wireless 3G download speeds averaging around 1.5 to 2.5 Mbps at best, the new T-Mobile 4G network is going to be a noticeable improvement in speed.

Although you won't be able to use iPhones or iPads on T-Mobile, they do have a growing selection of smartphones and tablet PCs that use the Android OS. Although Apple products have received a lot of attention in the past few years, don't overlook how capable and advanced some of the Android 4G devices are today. T-Mobile wireless is constantly adding new tablets and smartphones to their network which are just as good or even better than the Apple iPhone.

What are Wireless Mesh Networks?
Wireless Mesh networks are networks which consist of wireless nodes connected together in a mesh topology layout. This can either be setup in a partial mesh topology, where

not all the nodes are connected with all the neighbors and also in full mesh, where all the nodes are connected to all the neighbors. The standard which specifies the creation and development of wireless mesh networks developed by IEEE is known as the 802.11s amendment, this is an extension to the IEEE 802.11 amendment which is the standard for wireless networking.

Why should you use Wireless Mesh Networks?(As depicted by literature)
Wireless Mesh Networks(WMN) provide wireless scalable solutions, cheap deployments and reliable network connectivity.

• The network scales extremely easily as to further expand the network a new access point also known as a MAP(Mesh Access Point) can be added to the mesh network by forming a mesh neighborship through a WDS backhaul.
• Why is it cheap? Any protocol compatible AP can be used inside the mesh network.(It should be noted that most mesh systems are running non 802.11s(Vendor Specific Protocols such as Microtiks HWMP+) specific amendment protocols thus unless you're using the open source 802.11s stack you're stuck by a vendor specific eco-system). Also, less cabling means less capital used and easier installations.
  
• Reliable Network Connectivity-Mesh Networks advertise roaming latency of between 1 packet lost and less.

What was depicted by results throughout the testing phase?

• Real time protocols such as a Storage Attached Network Shares and VoIP are feasible solutions inside WMN due to its low latency during roaming you can expect next to no downtime. Also the protocol incorporates self-healing techniques which routes the traffic to arrive to its destination (the Mesh Gateway) through a functional path and amends broken links on its own.

It should be noted that the network is still prone to Single Point of Failures which is due to the Mesh Gateway being the only link to the internet.

• Although Mesh Networks are said to be scalable a 54% performance degradation in bandwidth was noted after 1 Mesh hop distance from the Mesh Gateway(The AP which is bridging the wireless mesh network to the Modem). After 2 Mesh hops 76% performance degradation was noted.

This means that as more mesh hops are introduced performance degradation will continue to increase further highly due to the Mesh AP's acting both as a receiver and a transmitter, wireless signal degradation and interference from outside sources.

• Careful planning and deployment of a WMN should be done beforehand. The network is highly reliant on the interconnection and the data rates which are exchanged between AP's. Also when we factor that most Wireless Mesh protocols mandate the use of the same Wireless Channel on a particular wireless band (2.4GHz or 5GHz) it is simply harder to control interference between the AP's inside the network. This would result in a poor performing network.

• Different Network Cards with different drivers were not performing correct mesh roaming. A wireless adapter which is 802.11 certified on windows was fully functional whereas when the same device was used on Linux with two separate drivers one was fully functional whereas one of the drivers was completely incompatible.

So after all the rambling. Why should you even consider deploying a Wireless Mesh Network and where shouldn't you?
Where should you deploy WMN's

• Businesses with RTP protocol requirements and Wireless connectivity uptime SLA's
• Metropolitan Areas
• Schools
• Home networks ONLY if you have a Network Attached Storage or a Storage Attached Network.

As per the advantages mentioned above.
Where you shouldn't

• Home networks

Why?
Performance degradation inside a Wireless Mesh Network is too impactful. With every mesh hop you introduce a 50% Bandwidth degradation or higher is expected. Unless you really require the need of 100% connectivity the network is simply overkill and is killing most of the bandwidth per Access Point.

• Note All the above is Considering a purely Wireless Based Mesh Network. Solutions for the bandwidth issue can be solved by connecting further nodes away with an uplink and the issue would be somewhat mitigated.

Conclusion
Wireless Mesh Networks is a very reliable network with low roaming latency and self healing techniques which provides great uptime and device connectivity reliability which can also be deployed cheap. Although the above is true this could not be deployed without any limitations. As discussed bandwidth degradation is one if not the most important issue inside a WMN.
