1. A wireless apparatus comprising:

  • a heterogeneous mix of wireless communication ports configured to acquire a representation of their environmental contexts, a first subset of the wireless communication ports configured to communicate via a single protocol set, a second subset configured to communicate via a plurality of protocol sets;

    a traversal rules base storing a plurality of traversal rules sets, each traversal rules set governing selection of a wireless profile and comprising contextual criteria;

    a profile database storing a plurality of available wireless profiles for the wireless communication port; and

    a profile selection module configured to;

    select a selected traversal rules set from the plurality of traversal rules sets by comparing the representation of the environmental context to the contextual criteria of the traversal rules sets,identify a desired profile from the available wireless profiles by traversing profiles according to the selected traversal rules set,configure the wireless communication port to operate according to the desired profile; and

    the contextual criteria comprising context attributes, the representation of the environmental context comprising environment attributes adhering to a namespace of the contextual attributes; and

    a plurality of sensors configured to augment the representation of the environmental context, the plurality of sensors comprising any one of a GPS sensor, position sensor, camera and accelerometer.
