1. A smartlink module, comprising:
- a smartcard chip for converting radio waves into electrical signals, for converting electrical signals into radio waves, said electrical signals being either analog or digital signals, said radiowaves being in the form of smartcard radio frequencies;
a first data channel being adapted to wirelessly communicate data using an antenna between said smartcard chip and a third party terminal capable of transceiving smartcard radio signal, said first data channel coupled to said smartcard chip; and
a second data channel, being adapted to electrically couple said smartcard chip with a mobile communication device, said second data channel coupled to said smartcard chip,where said first data channel is different from said second data channel, where said smartcard chip configured to authenticate said mobile communication device before said smartcard chip is enabled to provide data information to a third party terminal.
