Worksite power distribution box

A worksite power-receiving box with network communication capabilities, the worksite power-receiving box comprising:

• a housing;
• a power input operable to receive power from an external power source;
• a direct current (DC) output receptacle configured to receive a cable, the DC output receptacle recessed within the housing and includes a water-tight cover to prevent water on an external surface of the housing from entering the recessed DC output receptacle;
• and
• a communications module at least partially located within the housing, the communications module including a network port, the communications module operable to connect to an external communication network through the network port, the communications module configured to wirelessly communicatively connect to at least one external device, wherein the network port is an Ethernet port, and
• wherein the worksite power-receiving box is configured to wirelessly communicatively connect to a second worksite power-receiving box to form a wireless mesh network.
