Abstract

An access aggregator may receive a data stream from a first computing device. The access aggregator may divide the data stream into a plurality of sub-streams. Then, the access aggregator may transmit the sub-streams over multiple wireless communication channels to a network interface. The network interface can then send the sub-streams to a second computing device. Similarly, the second computing device may send data to the network interface, where the data is divided into sub-streams. The sub-streams can be sent to the access aggregator over multiple wireless communication channels and then sent to the first computing device.
