Abstract
A method, a device and a system for transferring data from a data source (212) over both a wireless communications (210) and a fixed communications (208) network to a destination device (204) such that at least one portion of a data aggregate is transmitted through the wireless communications network (210) via a wireless communications device (202) and at least one another portion is transmitted through the fixed communications network (208). The destination device (204) may reconstruct the data aggregate by joining the received data portions together.
