1. An encoded information reading terminal comprising:

  • a microprocessor electrically coupled to a system bus;

    a memory communicatively coupled to said microprocessor;

    an encoded information reading (EIR) device selected from the group consisting of a bar code reading device, an RFID reading device, and a card reading device, said EIR device configured to perform at least one of outputting raw message data containing an encoded message and outputting decoded message data corresponding to an encoded message; and

    a wireless communication interface comprising an RF front end configured to perform at least one of receiving a first radio signal and transmitting a second radio signal, said RF front end electrically coupled to at least one of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) electrically coupled to said system bus and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) electrically coupled to said system bus;

    wherein said microprocessor is configured to execute at least one of a base-band encoder software program and a base-band decoder software program;

    wherein said EIR terminal is configured to switch, during an active communication session, one of;

    a wireless communication network, a wireless communication protocol, a parameter of a wireless communication protocol.
