1. A system, comprising:
- a plurality of instruments for gathering data;
a network of mesh nodes communicably coupled to the plurality of instruments, said mesh nodes for obtaining said data from the instruments; and
a concentrator mesh node;
wherein the network of mesh nodes transmits said data to the concentrator mesh node while said concentrator mesh node is airborne;
wherein the concentrator mesh node receives the data and, when the concentrator mesh node is no longer airborne, the concentrator mesh node transfers said data to a destination via a network.

Abstract
A system comprises a plurality of instruments for gathering data and a network of mesh nodes communicably coupled to the plurality of instruments, the mesh nodes for obtaining the data from the instruments. The system also comprises a concentrator mesh node. The network of mesh nodes transmits the data to the concentrator mesh node while the concentrator mesh node is airborne. The concentrator mesh node receives the data and, when the concentrator mesh node is no longer airborne, the concentrator mesh node transfers the data to a destination via a network.
