1. An apparatus comprising:
- a converter configured to convert radio waves into electrical signals and electrical signals into radio waves;
a first data channel configured to wirelessly communicate data using an antenna between the converter and a terminal;
a second data channel configured to electrically couple the converter with a communication device,wherein the first data channel is different from the second data channel, and wherein the converter is configured to authenticate the communication device before the converter is enabled to provide data information to the terminal; and
a transmitter configured to transmit a first signal to a first entity and a second signal to a second entity, wherein the second signal is piggy-backed to the first signal.
