Patent Images
1. A portable wireless gateway comprising:
- at least one access point operative to communicate with user devices;
a transceiver operative to communicate with a network; and
, a protocol emulator comprising;
a protocol gateway operative to encapsulate user device data relayed by the at least one access point to prepare the user device data for transmission by the transceiver in a protocol associated with a network in communication with the transceiver, and unpackage data from the network relayed by the transceiver for delivery to the at least access point and relaying to at least one of the user devices.

Abstract
A portable wireless network gateway aggregates bandwidth demand of different devices operating under different communications protocols. Network connectivity is provided by encapsulating data from the different devices to make the data appear to be data native to a single network. For example, the single network is a cellular wireless network. The different communications protocols include but are not limited to IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.3, USB, cellular wireless protocols, Bluetooth, RS-232, and IEEE 11.1R.
