MobiMESH network architecture features a layered structure as reported in the Figure. The Wireless Mesh Backbone, which is the core of the MobiMESH technology, provides a high capacity transport commodity to deliver the traffic generated/collected by the access network.The Wireless Mesh Backbone is integrated with cabled networks and with the Internet through the Wired Backbone featuring Gateway devices. Devices belonging to the Access Network provide traditional access services (like standard WiFi access points) to end-user clients. The access network is perceived by the end-user client as a traditional WiFi WLAN. 

Several players involved in the touristic business (hotels, restaurants, bars, etc.) highly recognize the increasing importance of offering enhanced and pervasive information services to the final users.  Each actor usually sets up and manages its own network infrastructure providing connectivity and services to its own customers.  This is particularly true for value added services like internet access, VoIP applications, digital TV, video streaming, etc.
