This seems less for meshing actual devices and more for meshing access points... Is the idea to make regular devices access points? It doesn't seem so from how it's described:
> Wi-Fi EasyMesh is a certification program that defines multiple access point home and small office Wi-Fi networks that are easy to install and use, self-adapting, and add multi-vendor interoperability. This technology brings both consumers and service providers additional flexibility in choosing Wi-Fi EasyMesh devices for home deployment.
> Wi-Fi EasyMesh uses a controller to manage the network, which consists of the controller plus additional APs, called agents. Establishing controllers to manage and coordinate activity among the agents ensures that each AP does not interfere with the other, bringing both expanded, uniform coverage and more efficient service.
I guess this doesn't proclude using additional devices as meshing access points but the spirit & animation on the page[0] seems to.
It doesn't relate to Thread (had to Google that). It's for what's called WiFi Mesh Networking. Extending the range of WiFi networks without the need for wired connections.
