1. A method of enabling wireless data transfer to an electronic device having a transceiver structured to interact in a first mode with a first wireless network wherein a first beacon signal is repeatedly transmitted at a first interval and further structured to interact in a second mode with a second wireless network wherein a second beacon signal is repeatedly transmitted at a second interval that is longer than the first interval, the method comprising:

  • repeatedly powering up the transceiver and enabling the second mode to await receipt of the second beacon signal through the second wireless network;

    receiving an instance of the second beacon signal with an indication of availability of data to be transferred to the electronic device through the first wireless network; and

    in response to the receiving of the instance of the second beacon signal with the indication of availability of the data, enabling the first mode to receive the data through the first wireless network.
