In the past a lot of effort has been put into resolving some of the major challenges of AdHoc networks especially the added ones brought up by the mobility of nodes and the absence of infrastructure in MANETs. Unlike MANETs, Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) provide flexibility in terms of mobility i.e. Mesh clients can be stationary or mobile and can form a client mesh network among themselves and with mesh routers. WMNs make use of multiple radios and multiple channels per radio for increased capacity, higher throughput and low interference. We gave an overview of the work done on MANETs, experimental Community Wireless Networks (CWNs) and Industrial solutions for mesh networks. We highlighted the differences between WMNS and MANETs and how WMNs can overcome the limitations of MANETs. This paper also compares the feasibility and scope of forecasted applications for MANETs and WMNs. In the end, we gave a conclusion about the commercial viability of MANETs and the growing scope of applications proposed for WMNs.
