1. A combined directional and mobile interleaved wireless mesh network, comprising:

  • a plurality of interleaved fixed directional mesh nodes, each directional node having at least a first relay radio assigned to communicate via a first channel and a second relay radio assigned to communicate via a second channel wherein said first radio and said second radio are each connected to one or more directional antennas wherein at least one directional antenna is aimed in a substantially orthogonal direction relative to at least one other directional antenna; and

    a plurality of interleaved mobile mesh nodes, each mobile node having at least a third relay radio that communicates to the first relay radio of an adjacent directional node via the first channel and a fourth relay radio that communicates to the second relay radio of the adjacent directional node via the second channel wherein said third relay radio and said fourth relay radio are each connected to an omnidirectional antenna;

    wherein said first common channel and said second common channel provide alternative paths for receiving packets to each node and for transmitting packets from each node such that an individual packet in a sequential stream of IP packets can utilize a different common channel than a packet which precedes said individual packet in the sequential stream.
