1. A transmitting station capable of transmitting a video signal over a plurality of narrowband wireless communication channels, the transmitting station comprising:

  • a. means for sampling the video signal;

    b. buffer means, connected to the means for sampling the video signal, for accumulating the samples of the video signal;

    c. means for identifying a plurality of available narrowband radio channels to which the samples of the video signal are to be assigned;

    d. means, connected to the identifying means, for selecting a portion of the video samples from the buffer means, the number of selected samples being of a size such that they can be transmitted over one or more of the identified narrowband channels;

    e. switching means, connected between the buffer means and the identified narrowband channels and responsive to the selecting means, for providing the selected portion of the video samples to the identified channels;

    f. combiner means, connected to the identified narrowband channels, for combining signals from multiple channels into a single, wideband composite signal; and

    g. transmission means, connected to the combiner means, for transmitting the wideband signal.
