Abstract
A network device is mounted to an aerial device and facilitates communication between components of a wireless mesh network. The components of the wireless mesh network may include network devices that include a metrology module for measuring resource consumption, routers, and collectors. The airborne network device may enable communication between a network device and a central system. Alternatively, the airborne network device may provide additional bandwidth during periods of high network activity.
