Abstract
The invention provides a mesh network bridging device adapted to allow a resource restricted device to pass and/or receive signals from a mesh network. The mesh network bridging device is operable over both a first communication channel, so as to communicate with the resource restricted device, and a second communication channel, so as to communicate with the mesh network. The mesh network bridging device is adapted to switch between a first and second mode of operation, associated with the first and second communication channel respectively, so as to alternately communicate with the resource restricted device and the mesh network bridging device. The mesh network bridging device may thereby act as a bridge between the resource restricted device and the mesh network bridging device.
