Abstract
Novel tools and techniques for point-to-point network service provisioning and mesh network transitioning are provided. A system includes a fiber injection node, host mesh network radio, and a first node. The first node may comprise a remote wireless transceiver in communication with the host wireless transceiver, a first mesh network node transceiver configured to communicate with other mesh network node transceivers, a processor, and non-transitory computer readable media comprising instructions executable by the processor. The first node may be configured to establish a point-to-point wireless connection to the host wireless transceiver of the fiber injection node, and provision access to the service provider network to the first customer premises. The first node may further be configured to establish a mesh connection to a secondary mesh network node associated with a second customer premises, and provision access to the service provider network to the second customer premises.
