1. An electromechanical door lock system configured to be operatively connected to a dynamic wireless network having a plurality of control nodes, the system comprising:

  • a controller;

    first circuitry of the door lock system in electrical communication with the controller, the first circuitry including a first transceiver configured to receive a first signal transmitted by one of the plurality of control nodes of the dynamic wireless network via a channel, the first signal including an intended recipient ID, wherein the first circuitry is operable to demodulate the first signal and provide the intended recipient ID to the controller, wherein the controller is operable to evaluate the intended recipient ID and selectably control transmission of an acknowledgment signal through the first circuitry; and

    second circuitry of the door lock system in electrical communication with the controller, the second circuitry including a second transceiver configured to wake up in response to a wake up command generated by and received from the controller in response to a wake up request sent to the controller from the first transceiver, and receive a second signal from the dynamic wireless network via the same channel, the second signal including door lock access information, wherein the second circuitry is operable to demodulate the second signal and provide the door lock access information to the controller, and the controller is operable to evaluate the door lock access information and to command actuation of a locking mechanism based upon the evaluation.
