A bridge for linking a first and a second wireless communication device and translating between differing wireless protocols is described and taught. The bridge system comprises at least one wireless device and a bridge apparatus. The bridge apparatus takes the form of a universal serial bus that contains components that allows it to function without a host system. Additionally, the bridge apparatus enables the translation between different wireless protocols. This, in turn, enables older or outdated wireless technology to function seamlessly with the most current wireless protocols.
