Wireless provisioning device
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a plurality of wireless access points; and
at least one wireless provisioning device for receiving, transmitting, and directing data over a plurality of networks and capable of sustaining connectivity between the wireless access points and the wireless provisioning device, the wireless provisioning device comprising a chassis;
a communication access means;
at least one processor;
an operating system to control the at least one network card, the at least one wireless card and the at least one processor;
a packet-switched interface capable of receiving a multiplicity of inbound framed pocket-data to provide inbound packets and transmitting a multiplicity of outbound framed packet-data comprising outbound packets;
a channeling controller, coupled to the pocket-switched interface that channels the inbound packets based on the inbound address information and that constructs the outbound packets and channels the outbound packets with the outbound address information, the channeling controller capable of being effectively connected to at least one network via the operating system; and
a content filter operatively configured with the channel controller, the content filter capable of evaluating and segregating undesirable content;
wherein the communication access means, the at least one processor, the operating system, the at least one network card, the at least one wireless card, the at least one processor, the packet-switched interface, the channeling controller and the content filter are operably configured within the chassis of the wireless provisioning device.

Abstract
A wireless provisioning device (WPD) is a computer data traffic management system capable of routing TCP/IP traffic using unlicensed spectrum equipment. This WPR is to be strategically placed in logical segment regions within a wireless network to facilitate data traffic management. This device acts to provide connectivity between wireless backbone access points. The device may also be located within customer local area network (LAN) while providing connectivity to a wide area network (WAN). The wireless device has seven total wireless segments. The wireless device is capable of filtering IP addresses, spam, pornographic content, steganographic decryption, controlling firewall and/or routing and/or bridging. The increases effective throughput of TCP/IP traffic over the WAN or LAN while providing for secure management and greater connectivity.
