1. A method, comprising: receiving packets from a group of nodes configured to operate in a mesh network; referencing geographic information associated with the group of nodes; evaluating a subset of the group of nodes within a particular geographic area; for each of the nodes comprising the subset of the group of nodes: determining a global positioning system (GPS) location and a location of the node relative to the subset of the group of nodes; developing a packet routing policy for the node based on the relative location thereof, wherein the packet routing policy comprises configuration data including at least one of an intelligent channel assignment, frequency hopping schema, and power level for transmission; and communicating the configuration data to the node.
