Command and control communications system with sub-networks and interface devices
First Claim
1. A method of communicating using a sub-network, interconnect device and a network as a backbone within a communications system, comprising:
- receiving a request for information at the interconnect device from a wireless communications device to communicate with the interconnect device, the interconnect device interconnects the wireless communications device to the sub-network;
transmitting the request for information from the wireless communications device to the network, the network including terrestrial communications and being connected to a public safety agency network;
receiving the requested information at the sub-network from the public safety agency network over the network in response to the transmitted request for information; and
transmitting the requested information back to the wireless communications device through the interconnect device.

15. A sub-network device connected to a backbone network within a communications system, comprising:
-
a first interconnect device that is connected to wireless communications;
a second interconnect device that is connected to terrestrial communications; and
a network manager that includes a controller that controls the sub-network to receive a request for information through the first interconnect device from a wireless communications device, transmits the request for information to a government agency network through the backbone network, receives the requested information from the government agency network at the sub-network through the backbone network and transmits the requested information through the first interconnect device to the wireless communications device. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
