, Radio 1 of MP 1 joins the mesh through the MPP. In this case, only Radio

1 can provide access for downstream MPs. Radio 2 cannot automatically access the mesh and
provide the mesh service.

Figure 324 Two radios on different meshes

If an MP supports three radios, you can configure Radio 1 as the uplink interface, Radio 2 as the
downlink interface, and Radio 3 as the multi-beam antenna. To utilize the dual-radio resources on

MPs, you can establish the network as shown in

Figure 325

. In such a network, when Radio 1 of

MP 1 accesses the mesh, Radio 2 on MP 1 also automatically joins the mesh. In this network, you

should apply the same mesh service to both Radio 1 and Radio 2. For more information, see

Subway WLAN mesh deployment

A subway is an important traffic means for a modern city. In a subway system, control information must

be sent to trains to effectively manage trains and provide various services to customers.
As shown in

Figure 326

, a subway WLAN mesh solution has fit MPs deployed along the rail, which are

managed by the same AC. A train MP (fat AP) continuously scans new rail MPs (fit APs), and sets up

active/dormant links with the rail MPs with the best signal quality. The active mesh link is used for data

transmission, and the dormant mesh link acts as the backup link.
