1. A method for mesh network message transmission, comprising:

  • transmitting a message packet between a root access point and a first hop access point;

    transmitting the message packet between the first hop access point and a coupled access point using an integrated interface, the integrated interface defined by a wired connection, the first hop access point transporting upstream wireless traffic and the coupled access point transporting downstream wireless traffic; and

    transmitting the message packet between the coupled access point and at least one of a plurality of successive access points, the successive access points having a wireless transport to the coupled access point;

    the wired connection being substantially faster than the wireless transport between the successive access points,transmitting the message packet between the root access point and the first hop access point including a high gain directional antenna, the high gain directional antenna for transmission between the first hop access point at a distance substantially greater than a mesh network hop between the successive access points; and

    transmitting the message packet between at least one of the successive access points and a user device for providing wireless services.
