Abstract
The present invention is a flexible wireless communication network connection point that provides convenient and effective connection of network devices to a network. In one embodiment the present invention is a multi-configuration network connection point device comprising a first connection interface, a second connection interface, a means for intelligently concentrating data and a communication bus. The first connection interface includes a primary connection port for communicatively coupling to an upstream network device. The second connection interface including a secondary connection port for communicatively coupling to a downstream network device via a wireless technology. In one exemplary implementation the second connection interface is adapted to be secured in a fixed location while conveniently providing the communicative coupling to a downstream network device via a wireless technology. The means for intelligently concentrating data concentrates data from a plurality of interface connection ports included in the second connection interface for communication on the primary connection port of the first connection interface. The communication bus communicatively couples th…
