A wireless remote communication unit (225a, 1025) located within coverage of a cellular network node, the wireless remote communication unit comprising: at least one transceiver configured to communicate with the cellular network node using two different routes and select either: a second technology employed with a direct connection to the cellular network node, or a first technology employed with mesh connectivity via at least one other wireless remote communication unit and then a cellular connection using the second technology to the cellular network node; and a processor coupled to the at least one transceiver and configured to select internet connectivity using either: a first internet protocol, IP, address associated with mesh functionality to route low priority, high delay tolerant data via the at least one other wireless remote communication unit located within coverage of a cellular network node and acting as an edge router and the cellular connection to the cellular network node; or a second IP address associated with direct connection to the cellular network node for high priority, low delay tolerant data; and wherein the processor is further configured to: following a second IP address associated with direct connection to the cellular network node for high priority, low delay tolerant data having been selected, determine whether a communication link via the at least one other wireless remote communication unit acting as the edge router and the cellular network node associated with the first IP address exceeds a threshold for a traffic requirement of the data that the wireless remote communication unit is to send; and release, in response thereto, the direct connection to the cellular network node associated with the second IP address and use only the first IP address associated with mesh connectivity. at least one transceiver configured to communicate with the cellular network node using two different routes and select either: a second technology employed with a direct connection to the cellular network node, or a first technology employed with mesh connectivity via at least one other wireless remote communication unit and then a cellular connection using the second technology to the cellular network node; and a processor coupled to the at least one transceiver and configured to select internet connectivity using either: a first internet protocol, IP, address associated with mesh functionality to route low priority, high delay tolerant data via the at least one other wireless remote communication unit located within coverage of a cellular network node and acting as an edge router and the cellular connection to the cellular network node; or a second IP address associated with direct connection to the cellular network node for high priority, low delay tolerant data; and a first internet protocol, IP, address associated with mesh functionality to route low priority, high delay tolerant data via the at least one other wireless remote communication unit located within coverage of a cellular network node and acting as an edge router and the cellular connection to the cellular network node; or a second IP address associated with direct connection to the cellular network node for high priority, low delay tolerant data; and following a second IP address associated with direct connection to the cellular network node for high priority, low delay tolerant data having been selected, determine whether a communication link via the at least one other wireless remote communication unit acting as the edge router and the cellular network node associated with the first IP address exceeds a threshold for a traffic requirement of the data that the wireless remote communication unit is to send; and release, in response thereto, the direct connection to the cellular network node associated with the second IP address and use only the first IP address associated with mesh connectivity.
