Abstract
A power grid network is provided featuring a mesh network having a mesh node with a signal processor. The signal processor receives signaling containing information about collected data, which includes electrical signaling data related to electrical signaling being processed by a transformer to which the mesh node is coupled, metered data related to associated electrical signaling being provided from the transformer to a building or structure, and other mesh network data from one or more other mesh nodes deployed in the mesh network. The signal processor also determines corresponding signaling containing information about the collected data for transmitting back to a central location or one or more corresponding mesh nodes in the mesh network for further processing, based upon the signaling received.
