Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs): WISPs often use PtMP configurations to deliver internet services to multiple homes or businesses in rural or suburban areas using a central tower.
Cellular Networks: Mobile phone towers use PtMP architecture to provide connectivity to numerous mobile devices in their coverage area.
Television Broadcasting: Traditional broadcast television operates on a PtMP model, where a single broadcast tower transmits signals to many televisions within its range.
Imagine a Point-to-Multi-Point network as a garden sprinkler system. The sprinkler (central node) is positioned in the center of the garden and when it’s turned on, water (data) is sprayed outwards in multiple directions, reaching various plants (remote nodes) at once. Just like the sprinkler waters many plants simultaneously, the PtMP network transmits data from a central source to multiple receivers. This setup is efficient for scenarios where the same data needs to be distributed to several locations, much like watering multiple plants in a garden efficiently and at the same time.
