Claim:
1. A telecommunications system transmitting data across a network of nodes having device components enabling multiple modes of communications, the system comprising: core nodes in the network in communication with a network monitoring center; fringe nodes connected to the network; sensors connected to said fringe nodes and gathering telemetry data for the respective fringe nodes; gateway nodes connected to said fringe notes on the network and further connected to said core nodes across a backhaul; wherein at least said gateway nodes and core nodes comprise at least one digital signal processor and respective non-transitory computer readable storage media having programmed algorithms stored thereon that are executable by the processor in the gateway node or the core node; wherein said monitoring center receives said telemetry data across the backhaul and in response thereto, said monitoring center transmits hierarchical instructions to at least one node on the network; wherein upon receiving said instructions from the monitoring center, the at least one node receiving the instructions changes a network hierarchical status for the at least one node.
