Abstract
Technologies are generally described for an aggregation of bandwidth from multiple wireless devices. In some examples, a source device may communicate with a destination device at a first bandwidth. The source device may divide data into a first piece and a second piece. The source device may transmit the first piece to a first wireless device and the second piece to a second wireless device over a first network. The first wireless device and second wireless device may communicate with the destination device at a second bandwidth and a third bandwidth respectively. The first bandwidth may be less than an aggregation of the second bandwidth and the third bandwidth. The first wireless device may transmit the first piece over a second network, different from the first network, to the destination device. The second wireless device may transmit the second piece over a third network, different from the first network, to the destination device.
