A power distribution system may incorporate a network communication capability The network (100) communication capability may be configured or may be configurable as a multi- tiered, mesh network The network may have two tiers of fixed node meshes (tier 2 and tier 3) and one tier of mobile nodes mesh (tier 1) Each tier and each node (106, 108) of each tier has distinct characteristics relative to application, type of routing, transmit power control, physical configuration and message priorities The configuration and the characteristics of the network change based upon varying application and communication needs of the network. |
