MOBILE ROUTER WITH SERIAL DEVICE INTERFACE
First Claim
1. A mobile router comprising:
- a local network interface for wirelessly communicating with a mobile device via a local wireless network;
a backhaul network interface for wirelessly communicating with a backhaul network;
one or more processors;
a serial data device interface for communicating with a serial data device connected to the interface; and
a memory in communication with the one or more processors and the serial data device interface, wherein the memory stores instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to transmit data received from the serial data device over the backhaul network to a destination device.

Abstract
A mobile router having a serial interface is disclosed. According to various embodiments, the mobile router may comprise a serial port data publisher module that may take data received from a serial device connected to a serial port of the mobile router and make the data from the serial device available via a TCP stream. In that way, the serial port data publisher module may be used, for example, to populate a remote database with the data from the serial device. That way, the data from the serial device may be remotely accessed via the Internet, for example. In addition, the mobile router can be used to output a received signal from the device connected to its serial interface.
