Abstract

A method of wireless communication in restricted wireless zones (102) includes providing a restricted wireless zone communication system (104) having one or more wireless nodes (106) and a wireless device (110) having a first transceiver (150) restricted from operating in a restricted wireless zone (102) and a second transceiver (152) not restricted from operating in a restricted wireless zone (102). Upon entering restricted wireless zone (102) first transceiver (150) is disabled and second transceiver (152) is enabled to communicate with restricted wireless zone communication system (104). Wireless device (110) is then able to send and receive content from outside restricted wireless zone (102). Upon wireless device (110) leaving restricted wireless zone (102), the second transceiver is disabled and the first transceiver (150) is enabled.
