Abstract

A method is described that involves establishing a wireless network between a wireless access node of an existing network and a remote location by wirelessly linking a plurality of electronic processing circuits each transported by a respective parafoil. The wirelessly linked processing circuits are to route packets from the wireless access node to the remote location.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

establishing a wireless network between a wireless access node of an existing network and a remote location by wirelessly linking a plurality of electronic processing circuits each transported by a respective parafoil, said wirelessly linked processing circuits to route packets from said wireless access node to said remote location.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein said wireless network is established while said parafoils are descending.

3. The method of claim 2 further comprising causing said wireless network to be no longer operative before said parafoils land.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising sending notice to said remote location that communication to said remote location is desired.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising configuring routing tables of said electronic processing circuits.
