This communications system comprises: a wireless mesh network formed by gateways and smart meters; and a management server that manages the number of smart meters housed in each gateway and collects and manages measurement results from the smart meters. When entry into a wireless mesh network is desired, a smart meter notifies one connectable gateway about information on all connectable gateways and requests entry thereto, and the gateway instructs the requesting smart meter to enter a wireless mesh network managed by another gateway, if another gateway exists that has fewer smart meters housed therein than the number of smart meters housed by the requested gateway. |
