1. A mesh network system comprising:

  • a plurality of network nodes including a first subset of network nodes and a second subset of network nodes, each network node including a processor and a wireless transceiver configured for wireless communication with other nodes of the plurality of network nodes; and

    a network manager communicatively connected to the plurality of network nodes and configured to manage operation of a wireless mesh network including nodes of the plurality of network nodes,wherein the network manager is configured to perform functions to;

    allocate bandwidth of the wireless mesh network to each of the first subset of network nodes, wherein the allocated bandwidth includes a first bandwidth allocation for receiving and transmitting data packets along communication links of the wireless mesh network between the network nodes of the first subset, and a second bandwidth allocation for receiving network joining messages in network nodes of the first subset from network nodes of the second subset; and

    upon receiving a message transmitted from a network node of the second subset to a network node of the first subset using bandwidth of the second bandwidth allocation, identify the received message as a data message and provide data from the message to a host application.
