Abstract
Communications links can be established between a plurality of communications nodes to form an at least partially connected mesh network. Establishing a link can include transmitting synchronization data from a first communications node. The synchronization data can be transmitted symbol synchronously on a plurality of narrowband radio channels. A second communications node can combine energy received from the plurality of narrowband radio channels and use the combined energy to synchronize to the first communications node. Data transmissions can be demultiplexed by the first communications node into a plurality of lower rate streams for transmission across the plurality of narrowband radio channels. The second communications node can receive and multiplexed back together the lower rate streams.
