Claim Text:
1. A tree-shaped mesh network comprising: a mesh of wireless nodes forming a tree shaped network with one root node having a connection to an external network; chirp clients; and wireless network clients; wherein chirp clients comprise low cost chirp devices wherein said low cost chirp devices transmit short duration messages; wherein at least one wireless node of the mesh of wireless nodes is a designated chirp-aware node and said chirp-aware node further comprises a bridge between the short duration messages and IP based devices wherein said bridge includes a wireless receiver to receive said short duration messages; wherein all remaining wireless nodes, consisting of wireless nodes other than said at least one wireless node, disregard the short duration messages as random and transient noise by adaptively filtering out the short duration messages using Automatic Gain Control, Error Correction or noise cancellation, wherein the short duration messages are sufficiently short in length so that said adaptive filtering by all remaining wireless nodes disregards the short duration messages as random and transient noise; wherein each wireless node further comprises two logical radios and a service radio wherein each wireless node uplink and downlink operates on distinct non-conflicting frequencies; and wherein said wireless network clients communicate with said wireless nodes using the said service radios; and wherein the designated chirp-aware node is at an edge of the tree-shaped mesh network and wherein said chirp-aware node containerizes the short duration messages into containerized packets by adding an IP header to each said short duration message.
