Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for wirelessly accessing broadband services using intelligent cards. In some implementations, a broadband service card includes a physical interface, a communication module, secure memory, and service module. The physical interface connects to a port of a consumer host device. The communication module wirelessly receives RF signals from and transmits RF signals to a wireless broadband network. The secure memory stores user credentials used to securely authenticate the card and access a service foreign to the consumer host device through the wireless broadband network independent of the consumer host device. The user credentials are associated with a broadband service provider. The service module accesses the foreign service using the user credentials in response to at least an event and transmits a service request to the broadband service provider using the wireless broadband core network.
