A mesh router for connecting to a mesh network

The present disclosure relates to a mesh router (10) for connecting to a mesh network. The mesh router (10) comprises a plurality of communication interfaces comprising: at least a first communication interface (12a, 12b) adapted to receive and/or transmit data according to an IP based communication protocol, and at least a second communication interface (11a, 11b, 11c) adapted to receive and/or transmit data according to a non-IP based communication protocol. The mesh router (10) is further directly or indirectly connected to at least one further node in the mesh network via at least one of the communication interfaces; and is configured to: adapt a data stream received via the first communication interface (12a, 12b) according to the non-IP based communication protocol and forward said data stream via the second communication interface (11a, 11b, 11c), and to adapt a data stream received via the second communication interface (11a, 11b, 11c) according to the IP based communication protocol and forward said data stream via the first communication interface (12a, 12b). The present disclosure further relates to a measurement and/or auxiliary device comprising at least one mesh router (10) and to a mesh communication system.
