1. A Wireless Access Internet Network architecture for providing users direct and roaming access to a communications network, the architecture comprising:
- a wireless client wherein the wireless client provides an authentication and includes;
a radio link adaptation layer and a radio interface;
a plurality of wireless servers in communication with the wireless client wherein at least two of the plurality of wireless servers are in communication with each other and allow respective wireless clients within one network of the at least two of the plurality of wireless servers to roam within the other network of the at least two of the plurality of wireless servers and wherein each of the wireless servers include;
a charging module;
a Home Location Register (HLR) signaling module;
a Domain Naming System (DNS)/Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) module;
a radio link adaptation layer and a radio access point in communication with the radio interface;
a data network in communication with the plurality of wireless servers; and
a RADIUS server connected to the wireless server wherein the wireless server transmits accounting data to the RADIUS server.
