Abstract
A wireless router access point for use with a mesh network employing a mesh protocol and a point-to-multipoint network employing a point-to-multipoint protocol, and a multimedia system employing the same. In one embodiment, the wireless router access point includes a mesh access point subsystem configured to translate between a point-to-multipoint protocol and a mesh protocol to communicate with the mesh network. The wireless router access point also includes a point-to-multipoint access point subsystem configured to translate between a mesh protocol and a point-to-multipoint protocol to communicate with a user of the point-to-multipoint network.

A wireless router access point for use with a mesh network employing a mesh protocol and a point-to-multipoint network employing a point-to-multipoint protocol, comprising:
- a mesh access point subsystem configured to translate between a point-to-multipoint protocol and a mesh protocol to communicate with said mesh network;
- and
- a point-to-multipoint access point subsystem configured to translate between a mesh protocol and a point-to-multipoint protocol to communicate with a user of said point-to-multipoint network.
A method of operating a wireless router access point for use with a mesh network employing a mesh protocol and a point-to-multipoint network employing a point-to-multipoint protocol, comprising:
- translating between a point-to-multipoint protocol and a mesh protocol to communicate with said mesh network;
- and
- translating between a mesh protocol and a point-to-multipoint protocol to communicate with a user of said point-to-multipoint network.
A multimedia system for use with a mesh network employing a mesh protocol and a point-to-multipoint network employing a point-to-multipoint protocol, comprising:
- a plurality of wireless router access points, including:
- a mesh access point subsystem configured to translate between a point-to-multipoint protocol and a mesh protocol to communicate with said mesh network;
- and
- a point-to-multipoint access point subsystem configured to translate between a mesh protocol and a point-to-multipoint protocol to communicate with a user of said point-to-multipoint network;
- and
- a concentrator wireless router access point, including
- a wireless router access point subsystem configured to provide a wireless interface and functionality to communicate with ones of said plurality of wireless router access points, and
