The canopy network serves as a backbone for the low-power wireless mesh network you are deploying throughout your building. It consists of a number of SmartMesh IP managers connected to raspberry Pi single board computers, and a some DC9018 boars deployed on different floors of your building.
different DC2274+raspberry Pi gateways are installed on different floors | a number of DC9018 provide coverage to the entire floors |

The low-power wireless network in each floor is independent. They do, however, share the same netid. This means your mote can attach any of the networks. |
The following diagram shows the networking architecture of the canopy network: each gateway device is connected to the IBM Cloud, to which your Node-RED instance connects.
Ask away until you have a good understanding of how the canopy network is put together. |
This diagram shows what runs on a gateway
stars.solsystem.io is a website which shows the topology of the canopy network
Walk around your building with a mote. On each floor there is a canopy network, switch on your mote and verify:
