1. An apparatus of a Short Range Communication (SRC) device, the apparatus configured to:

  • define a proximity boundary with dimensions defined by a selected communication range of the SRC device, wherein the SRC device is configured to communicate using near field magnetic induction (NFMI), wherein the SRC device and a radio frequency (RF) radio are configured to be coupled to a mobile computing device;

    transmit a proximity signal in the proximity boundary, wherein the SRC device includes at least two antennas to provide magnetic induction diversity;

    form a spatially secure NFMI data link with a second SRC device and an RF data link with a second RF radio;

    identify a data block to be transmitted within the proximity boundary; and

    intersperse data in the data block between the RF radio and the SRC device of the mobile computing device for transmission to the second RF radio and the second SRC device, respectively, of a second mobile computing device on the spatially secure NFMI data link and the RF data link.
