Abstract: Disclosed herein is a wireless mesh network comprised of ultra-high-capacity nodes that are capable of establishing ultra-high-capacity links (e.g., point-to-point or point-to-multipoint bi-directional communication links) using a millimeter wave spectrum, including but not limited to 28 Ghz, 39 Ghz, 37/42 Ghz, 60 Ghz (including V band), or E-band frequencies, as examples. The higher capacity and/or extended range of these ultra-high-capacity nodes/links may be achieved via various advanced signal processing techniques. Further, these ultra-high-capacity nodes/links may be used in conjunction with other types of point-to-point and/or point-to-multipoint links to build a multi-layer wireless mesh network.

Abstract: In a wireless mesh network comprising wireless communication nodes that are interconnected via wireless point-to-point and/or wireless point-to-multipoint links, at least some of the wireless communication nodes may additionally be installed with equipment that enables them to operate as blockchain nodes within a blockchain network, such as a computing system comprising hardware and software for operating as part of the blockchain network. This architecture enables such wireless communication nodes to serve a dual purpose of delivering both mesh-based applications and/or services to users, such as high-speed internet, as well as blockchain-based applications and/or services to users. For example, such wireless communication nodes may function to provide distributed, blockchain-based platforms for content storage (e.g., blockchain-based databases or distributed file storage platforms), content distribution, social media, gaming, and/or virtual experiences, among other possibilities.
