Wireless router system and method
First Claim
1. A method of routing data between a plurality of host services and a plurality of mobile communication devices via a wireless router system, a communication network coupling the plurality of host services to the wireless router system and one or more wireless networks coupling the wireless router system to the plurality of mobile communication devices, comprising:
- storing a plurality of host service identifiers in a database at the wireless router system, each host service identifier associated with a particular host service authorized to route data through the wireless router system;
connecting the host services to the wireless router system using one of the host service identifiers to create an authorized communication channel between the host service and the wireless router system, the host services then communicating data to the wireless router system for a particular mobile communication device; and
receiving the data at the mobile communication devices from the wireless router system and transmitting response data and a host service identifier back to the wireless router system, the wireless router system using the host service identifier from the mobile communication device to route the response data to a particular host service.

Abstract
A wireless router employing a technique to couple a plurality a host services or host systems and a plurality of wireless networks. A method to route data items between a plurality of mobile devices and a plurality of host systems through a common wireless router. A point-to-point communication connection is preferably established between a first host system and a common wireless router, a mobile network message at a mobile device is generated, the mobile network message is transmitted via a wireless network to the common wireless router which in turn routes a data item component of the mobile network message to the appropriate host service.
