First Claim
Patent Images
1. Communication apparatus, comprising:
- an interface to a plurality of wireless modems; and
bonding circuitry, which is configured to receive multiple virtual identities, to load respective ones of the received virtual identities into one or more of the wireless modems, and to communicate over the air by simultaneously transmitting or receiving a data stream over at least the two or more of the wireless modems.
