Abstract

A wireless mesh network is described. The mesh network uses a plurality of data communications nodes that are organized in a tree-like structure. The network also includes an access server which communicates with the nodes. The mesh network nodes are one or more root access point nodes having a wired connection to an external network; and one or more mesh access point nodes. Both types of nodes communicate with an external network. Each non-root node automatically connects to an associated parent node selected from one or more nodes within a direct wireless communication range of the node. The node selects a parent node based on one or more parent selection criteria from the access server and establishes a connection to the selected parent node. The node then calculates its routing path to the external network. The nodes include unique identifiers and two or more radios.
