Abstract
A mobile electronic communications device includes a housing, a memory, a data entry mechanism, a display for visual data, at least one wireless transceiver configured to transmit and receive electromagnetic signals conforming to a plurality of wireless signaling protocols, and a controller. The controller is communicatively connected to the memory, data entry mechanism, and display; and is configured to send and receive data using the at least one wireless transceiver. The controller detects available wireless networks using at least one of the plurality of wireless signaling protocols, compares network identifications of available wireless networks to a predetermined list of network identifications ordered by preference, establishes a wireless network connection with an available wireless network having a network identification corresponding to a most preferred network identification in the predetermined list of network identifications, and executes an authentication process in response to establishing the wireless network connection.
