System and method for providing multi network connectivity
Abstract:
In various embodiments, a system provides multi network connectivity between a broadband, packet-switched wireless Radio Access Network (RAN) and first and second different wireless networks using a broadband transceiver configured to receive and transmit packet-switched data over the RAN. First and second transceivers with respective data interfaces with the broadband transceiver are configured to establish a first and second wireless networks using different communications protocols. A processor and associated memory are operatively coupled together to at least control the broadband transceiver, the first transceiver, and the second transceiver. A communications range of the first and second wireless networks are extended beyond a respective intrinsic data communications capability thereof via the broadband transceiver. The system and method may be implemented to improve in-building wireless coverage, or to provide real-time content to mobile users, e.g., in an automobile, and/or to provide real-time vehicle diagnostic codes to a maintenance support node.
