Abstract
In at least some embodiments, an auxiliary device compatible with a biomedical implantable comprises a first transceiver and a controller coupled to the first transceiver. If the first transceiver receives a wireless data signal from an implantable unit, the controller generates a corresponding data signal for transmission to a wireless network. The corresponding data signal has at least one of a higher power level and a higher frequency band compared to the wireless data signal.
