Data transfer facilitation to and across a distributed mesh network using a hybrid TV white space, Wi-Fi and advanced metering infrastructure construct

A system comprising:

• a source configured to broadcast a television white space signaling;
• an apparatus comprising:
• a first receiver configured to receive the television white space signaling from the source;
• a first circuit configured to convert the television white space signaling into a radio frequency signaling;
• and
• a first transmitter configured to transmit the radio frequency signaling;
• and
• one or more devices configured to receive the radio frequency signaling, and to transmit further radio frequency signaling to the apparatus;
• wherein the apparatus further comprises:
• a mesh networking chip set configured to establish a wireless mesh network comprising the apparatus and the one or more devices, wherein the wireless mesh network provides broadband Internet connectivity to the one or more devices:
• a second receiver configured to receive the further radio frequency signaling from at least one of the one or more devices;
• a second circuit configured to convert the further radio frequency signaling into further television white space signaling;
• and
• a second transmitter configured to transmit the further television white space signaling to the source;
• wherein the further television white space signaling is a backhaul for the wireless mesh network:
• and
• wherein the system further comprises a transformer of a utility grid, and wherein the apparatus is further configured to monitor activities of the transformer,
• wherein the apparatus is further configured to communicate with one or more utility meters associated with structures arranged in the utility grid, and to receive metered data relating to consumption of a utility from the one or more utility meters in the utility grid.
