Network hardware devices organized in a wireless mesh network for content distribution to client device having no internet connectivity

Abstract:

Wireless mesh network (WMN) architectures of network hardware devices organized in a mesh topology is described. One device communicates, using a first radio, first data with a second device via a first wireless link between the device and the second device. The device communicates, using a second radio, second data with a third device via a second wireless link between the device and the third device. The device communicates, using a third radio, third data with a fourth device via a third wireless link between the device and the fourth device. The device communicates, using a fourth radio, fourth data with a server of a content delivery network (CDN) via a point-to-point wireless link between the device and the server. The device is an only ingress point for content files for a mesh network that includes at least the device, the second device, and the third device.
