Abstract: A mesh network system comprising at least a first mesh network controlled by a first central controlling unit CU and at least a second mesh network controlled by a second central controlling unit CU is disclosed. The at least first central controlling unit and the at least second central controlling unit is configured to communicate via an external network. Respective central controlling units CU are configured to facilitate interoperations between devices located in different mesh networks.

Abstract: A mesh network (120) constituted by radio-controlled bridges (101, 102, 103, 104, 105, and 106) in communication with connectionless devices (109) and connection-oriented devices (110) is disclosed. The mesh network (120) is further configured with a plurality of communication protocol translators facilitating communication between devices using different communication protocols. The mesh network (120) is further configured with a central controlling unit (100) controlling allowed and not allowed interactions between devices communicating over the mesh network (120).
