Abstract

A system is disclosed having a remote access unit and two transceiver modes, one for implementing wireless wide area network communications and another for implementing local wireless network communications. High speed data communications with a cellular system may be maintained in the wireless wide area network mode with the advantage of a flexible and unconstrained remote access unit, which can be placed for improved wireless reception. Computers and other devices with complementary wireless personal network communications protocol units may connect to a wireless wide area network through the remote access unit.
