Awesome - exactly! And I have gaps on what you're talking about because 
when I talk about mesh in my head I am usually thinking about low 
bandwidth and switches and sensor readings and suchlike :)

Something else playing in here that I know little about is 5G and where 
NB-IoT fits in at the low bandwidth end of that specification and what 
fits at the high bandwidth / low latency end.

I have been talking to people about the 5G future in which we deploy 
containers into data-cubes based at the edge of the 5G network into the 
cell hardware itself. Would love to understand this in more depth.

Was vaguely wondering if I could get somebody in for IoT Liverpool when 
that restarts. Maybe we could consider some kind of joint event?

Lots to talk about it seems!

Cheers,

Alex
