Connectivity Wifi Mesh Questions
The choice is yours, but we generally recommend based on your cellar size:
- Wi-Fi: Ideal for smaller cellars (10-20 tanks) or facilities that already have strong Wi-Fi coverage. In many cases, a single standard Access Point is all you need.
- MESH: The best choice for larger cellars (20-100+ tanks) or areas where installing standard Wi-Fi infrastructure would be too costly.
Our MESH technology is designed for effortless scalability. A single TankNET® Mesh Border Router can connect 50+ tanks to your network instantly. It eliminates the need for complex IT setup or specialized expertise - simply plug it in, and the tank controllers automatically form a secure network that is resilient and self-healing.
Yes.
You can easily add additional Mesh Routers to your system. This allows you to extend coverage into hard-to-reach corners of the cellar or increase data throughput. Adding routers also creates redundancy, ensuring your network stays robust even if one path is obstructed.
