The aim work is to present a wireless mesh communication autonomous system powered by photovoltaic solar energy. With the proliferation of wireless mesh network, based on the IEEE 8021.11 WLAN standard, it’s restrict to capital cities, where there are a continuous power sources and Ethernet infrastructure to access the internet. The design of source power infrastructure without cable to powered a wireless network represent one of the most challenge in actual wireless networks. In this paper we present an autonomous wireless mesh network system, powered by photovoltaic solar energy in a compact and inexpensive prototype named SACM, for rural and urban areas. Several tests were performed to evaluate the wireless mesh module power consumption to design the photovoltaic module and storage module. The paper also presents the results of field test coverage area, communication usage and autonomy system in a real installation.
