1. A customer premises termination system for receiving data, via wireless communications, from a remote data network through a customer premises data terminal of a Settop Box and communicating data to a CDPD network, comprising:
- a data receiving interface device coupled to the data terminal of the Settop Box;
a data processor/router connected to the interface device and directionally processing incoming data packets to go to a router specified output of the data processor/router, in that packet direction is controlled within the router to be from an input port to an output port irrespective of header address of the packet;
a wireless broadband duplex packet LAN, including an antenna, for two way wireless coupling of the data processor/router with a customer premises LAN/data processor; and
a CDPD radio modem connected to the data processor/router for receiving packets from the router and transmitting wireless CDPD packets generated by the customer premises LAN data processor.

Abstract
Termination equipment for a WorldNet™ wireless network receives packet data from a data terminal of a DirecTV™ Settop Box. This data is directed to a recipient through a router and transmitted by wireless or coax LAN to customer premises data equipment. Replies to the network by customer premises equipment are transmitted by wireless or coax LAN to the router to a CDPD radio modem for transmission, via CDPD, to a remote termination connected to the network.

5. A method of receiving and transmitting data from a wireless network through a data terminal of a Settop Box and communicating data to a CDPD network through a wireless transmit terminal and to a wireless LAN via a router, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a wideband data signal in packet format through a Settop Box; coupling the received wideband data packet signal to a directionally sensitive router, in which packet direction is controlled within the router to be from a designated input port to a designated output port irrespective of header address of the packet, and directing the data packet to a LAN according to router directionality control; receiving packets from the LAN at the router and coupling them according to router directionality control to a CDPD modem for transmission to a CDPD wireless network. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)
