Systems and methods for smart device networking

A system for smart device networking comprising:

• an endpoint, comprising:
• a device interface that enables communication between the endpoint and a connected device;
• a processor that processes data received from the connected device;
• and
• a first dual-band PAN radio;
• a bridge comprising:
• a second dual-band PAN radio that communicates with the first dual-band PAN radio of the endpoint;
• a processor that performs packet encapsulation for data originating at the endpoint and packet stripping for data directed to the endpoint;
• and
• a WAN communications module that communicatively couples the bridge to a WAN;
• and
• a router, operating on a computer server and connected to the bridge through the WAN, that routes communication to and from the endpoint;
• wherein routing communication to and from the endpoint comprises routing communication according to a first distributed hash table, the first distributed hash table containing a MAC address of the endpoint, a last seen time of the endpoint, and a bridge identifier associated with the endpoint.
