No it's not. A campus network has a PoE line to each access point. It's not a mesh, they don't route the traffic between the access points over the air.
Isn’t that mesh with back haul? I thought the characteristics of a mesh were that the APs were communicating with themselves to provide handoff. Data can move over the AP or through back haul.
Correct, enterprise wifi is usually just APs with a common SSID and security configuration and some tuning to try to force clients to roam sensibly. There’s no AP to AP comms, it all goes back to the switchport
There are solutions for AP-side roaming that is transparent to the client and whole network is visible as single AP, like UniFi "Zero-Handoff Roaming". Though because it forces whole network to use single channel it is deprecated in favor of 802.11r client side fast roaming.
