Abstract: In a wireless mesh network comprising wireless communication nodes that are interconnected via wireless point-to-point and/or wireless point-to-multipoint links, at least some of the wireless communication nodes may additionally be installed with equipment that enables them to operate as blockchain nodes within a blockchain network, such as a computing system comprising hardware and software for operating as part of the blockchain network. This architecture enables such wireless communication nodes to serve a dual purpose of delivering both mesh-based applications and/or services to users, such as high-speed internet, as well as blockchain-based applications and/or services to users. For example, such wireless communication nodes may function to provide distributed, blockchain-based platforms for content storage (e.g., blockchain-based databases or distributed file storage platforms), content distribution, social media, gaming, and/or virtual experiences, among other possibilities.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system comprising a set of wireless communication nodes that are configured to operate as part of a wireless mesh network. Each respective wireless communication node may be directly coupled to at least one other wireless communication node via a respective short-hop wireless link, and at least a first pair of wireless nodes may be both (a) indirectly coupled to one another via a first communication path that comprises one or more intermediary wireless communication nodes and two or more short-hop wireless links and (b) directly coupled to one another via a first long-hop wireless link that provides a second communication path between the first pair of wireless communication nodes having a lesser number of hops than the first communication path. A fiber access point may be directly coupled to a first wireless communication node of the set of wireless communication nodes.

Abstract: A radio module for a wireless communication node comprises (i) a phased antenna array comprising a first set of antenna elements having a first polarization and a second set of antenna elements having a second polarization, (ii) a radio frequency (RF) module comprising a plurality of RF chains that are configured to feed the first and second sets of antenna elements in the phased antenna array, and (iii) a control unit that is configured to control an activation state of each antenna element in the phased antenna array. The radio module further comprises at least one beam narrowing module that is configured to (i) receive signals emitted by any active antenna element in the phased antenna array and (ii) consolidate the received signals into a respective narrow beam composite signal.
