Qualcomm Wi-Fi SON (Self-Organizing Network) is a solution developed by Qualcomm for Wi-Fi networks to simply and automatically select and link different wireless networking devices together, using the concept of "mesh networking".[https://www.qualcomm.com/solutions/networking/features/wi-fi-son Qualcomm® Wi-Fi SON and distributed networking] It is supposed to improve network coverage in different corners in a house or an apartment, and also provide improved security.[https://www.rcrwireless.com/20160328/network-infrastructure/wi-fi/wi-fi-son-important-tag17-tag99 Wi-Fi SON and why it’s important] Note that the technology behind the solution is more like mesh networking than cellular self-organizing network which would have included dynamical adjustment between different access points and client devices.[https://internet.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/column/nettech/1138297.html Wi-Fiメッシュの主流はQualcomm「Wi-Fi SON」へ、「IEEE 802.11s」に準拠せず]
