WIRELESS INFRASTRUCTURE MESH NETWORK SYSTEM USING A LIGHTING NODE
First Claim
1. A wireless infrastructure mesh network system comprising:
- a first plurality of wireless transceivers for communicating data through the wireless mesh network such that the first plurality of wireless transceivers acts solely to transmit and receive data;
a second plurality of wireless transceivers for communicating data through the wireless mesh network such that the second plurality of wireless transceivers are each integrated with an overhead task light; and
wherein operation of the overhead task light is controlled through the wireless network.

Abstract
A wireless infrastructure network system (100) includes one or more first wireless transceivers (107) for communicating data through the wireless mesh network such that the first wireless transceivers (107) act solely to transmit and receive data. The mesh network system further includes one or more second wireless transceivers (101) for communicating data through the wireless mesh network system (100) such that the second wireless transceivers (101) are each integrated with an overhead task light (201). Operation of the overhead task light (201) is controlled through the wireless network enabling each individual overhead task light (201) to be easily controlled without the need for extensive control wiring to be added to each of the second wireless transceivers.
