The invention discloses ways of implementing a broadband wireless network based on mesh topology, optimized for delivery of data, Internet, voice and multimedia to consumers, small offices and large company premises using data interfaces such as the IP standard interface and consumer multimedia digital bus interface. The invention comprises of customer premises wireless radios with the ability of adding and dropping data via standard interface as well as routing data between multiple wireless nodes. Each network node (SR) has a MAC (Media Access Control) layer that enables the routing and insertion of packetized data between multiple network nodes and between the nodes and external LAN or WAN data networks. The invention includes an optimized algorithm for automatic node admission to the network and dropping off the network as well as an algorithm for maintaining multiple routes for route diversity. This route diversity enhances the mesh network availability, reliability and allows load balancing. The invention enables the deployment of lower cost wireless access networks with easy deployment, low maintenance, and high accessibility suitable for commercial as well as residential high bit rate data delivery.
