(54) | EDGE NODE, MESH NETWORK AND METHOD TO DELIVER CONTENT AT AN EDGE OF A MESH NETWORK |
(57) An edge node (240) of a mesh network that is configured to support cloud services comprises a processor, operably coupled to a content store (246); and a transmitter coupled to the processor and the content store (246) configured to send at least one attribute to a network entity (210) that comprises a content agent registry (218) that records and identifies content to be delivered to the edge node (240) based on the at least one attribute, wherein the at least one attribute is based on a characteristic of the content. A receiver is configured to download the identified content from the content agent registry (218); a content agent (242) is coupled to the receiver and configured to route to and store the identified downloaded content (232) in the content store (246). The receiver is configured to receive from at least one other edge node (241, 243), a mesh router device (241, 243) and identify therefrom the at least one attribute based on the characteristic of the content previously downloaded to the edge node, and in response thereto the transmitter of the edge node is configured to deliver the previously downloaded and stored content (232) locally from the content store (246) via a wireless link (250) to the at least one of: at least one other edge node (241, 243), a mesh router device (241, 243).
