1. An access point of a wireless internet service provider (WISP) network that includes a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system, the access point including at least one antenna, a power supply and supporting electronics, and further including programming instruction modules that comprise:

  • (a) a power supply program module resident at the power supply for energizing the access point permitting wireless signals to be received and transmitted along a backbone of the wireless network;

    (b) an access point program module resident at the access point for communicating with the power supply to process (i) commands relayed to the access point that are initiated from a central control console of the WISP network, and (ii) access point resident programming, (c) wherein the central control console, and the access point and the power supply running their respective program modules communicate to maintain the access point or power supply. or both, in an operating mode within the network by identifying power supply or access point problems, or both, and preventing power supply disruptions by initiating power cycling, or an access point program module programming reset or a power supply program module programming reset, or combinations thereof.
