1. A wireless communication device comprising:
- a first radio transceiver, suitably adapted to receive and transmit radio frequency signals;
an antenna element, suitably adapted to direct radio frequency signals to and from the first radio transceiver;
a device management communications, suitably adapted to provide communications between the wireless communications device and a management computer, said management computer suitably configured to manage operation of the wireless communication device;
programmable firmware, integrated with and controlling the output of power from the first radio transceiver;
wherein the first radio transceiver is placed sufficiently close to the antenna element to eliminate substantially all appreciable power loss between the first radio transceiver and the antenna element, such that the wireless communication device may receive electronic information from one or more computing devices the Internet and transmit said electronic information to one or more wireless communication devices, and the wireless communication device may receive electronic information from said one or more wireless communication devices and transmit said electronic information to said one or more computing devices the Internet.
