REGULUS MANET vs
other MANET/Mesh/MIMO Networks

Traditional Mesh radio systems rely on a set of radios configured in a fixed routing topology. These systems form networks where each radio acts as a node, and data can hop from one to another. Mesh radios typically operate on pre-established paths and basic routing logic. They require configuration for each node and often rely on a central controller or static path definitions for traffic routing.

​

In contrast, MANET networks leverage decentralized, self-forming, and self-healing routing protocols that do not rely on preconfigured paths or fixed infrastructure. When one node goes down or moves out of range, the network instantly reroutes traffic through other nodes, so communications stay intact.
