so if you are walking or driving from on smaller mesh another, on 
separate channels, whose smaller meshes are connected by a long distance 
backbone which uses the Ubiquiti software (which has the channel hopping 
for 5ghz to access more channels, and the weak strong signal unbiased 
allocation).....

how does the mesh retain its identity and server access across a 
different network (and thus ip address protocol) does the mesh software 
put itself in an envelope and pass along the alien network to stay 
cohesive at both ends?

Or is the wide area mesh system abandoned , and the only remaining use 
for mesh is for at the fringes of reception from the back bone for 
another hop or two,

but using the unbiased weak strong signal allocation of the Ubiquity 
system, a longer distance 2 ghz router could be an access point for 
longer distances anyway?

If every user in the mesh is say, a fire truck among many traveling, or 
a bunch of RVs, or a climbing expedition, or driving mob of vehicles 
going to burning man, it this the only place mesh ad hoc mobile networks 
are really needed?  is a headless self reconfiguring network on one 
channel necessary?

so is the deployment of non monopolisitic corporate local intranet or 
internet access being delayed by pointless machinations about mesh 
networking when you could just as well deploy stock wireless internet 
service provider equipment from Ubiquity et al?
