1. A method for outputting data for storage in a distributed storage network, the method comprising:

  • receiving the data;

    processing the data into a plurality of data slices using an error coding dispersal storage function;

    selecting a wireless communication approach for externally communicating the plurality of data slices where a plurality of wireless modules, each operating in accordance with at least one wireless communication protocol, are each selected to transmit a certain set of one or more data slices parallel in time with the transmission of one or more other data slices transmitted by other wireless modules in the plurality of wireless modules; and

    sending the plurality of data slices via respective wireless modules of the plurality of wireless modules according to the selected wireless communication approach in a manner that enables storage of the data slices in at least two different distributed storage units across the distributed storage network and wherein the error coding dispersal storage function ensures that the data can be fully assembled even though one or more of the of the data slices are not recoverable.
