Abstract
Described are advanced communication computers that include a processor, at least one network adaptor connected to the processor, wherein the at least one network adaptor comprises a separate processor, at least one remote network connected to the at least one network adaptor, and at least one remote server connected to the at least one remote network. The processor is configured to identify an expected performance level of the at least one network adaptor, collect actual performance data from the at least one processor, and compare the actual performance data to the expected performance level to identify issues with signal condition, network traffic, interference, and other similar metrics.
Claims14
An advanced communication computer comprising
- a first processor;
- a first network adaptor connected to the first processor, wherein the first network adaptor comprises a first network adaptor processor, is a first type of network adaptor, and is configured to communicate with a first remote network, wherein the first remote network comprises a first type of network;
- and
- a second network adaptor connected to the first processor, wherein the second network adaptor comprises a second network adaptor processor, is a second type of network adaptor different from the first type of network adaptor, and is configured to communicate with a second remote network that is different from the first remote network, wherein the second remote network comprises a second type of network different from the first type of network,
- wherein the first processor is configured to connect to the first remote network via the first network adaptor and to connect to the second remote network via the second remote network,
- wherein the first processor is configured to send an encrypted communication via the first network adaptor and to send an encryption key for the encrypted communication via the second network adaptor,
- wherein the first processor is configured to communicate control signals with each of the first network adaptor processor and the second network adaptor processor,
- wherein the control signals are configured to cause a reboot or other corrective measures to each of the first network adaptor processor and the second network adaptor processor, and
- wherein control of the first network adaptor processor is independent of control of the second network adaptor processor.

A modular gateway system comprising:
- (a) a base unit comprising:
- a processor, and
- a base network adaptor connected to the processor, wherein the base network adaptor comprises a base network adaptor processor, is a first type of network adaptor, and is configured to be connected to a first remote network, wherein the first remote network comprises a first type of network;
- and
- (b) an add-on unit connected to the base unit and comprising an add-on network adaptor, the add-on network adaptor comprising an add-on network adaptor processor and configured to be connected to a second remote network that is different from the first remote network, wherein the add-on network adaptor is a second type of network adaptor different from the first type of network adaptor, wherein the second remote network comprises a second type of network different from the first type of network,
- wherein the processor in the base unit is configured to distribute a data package by:
- splitting the data package into a first data package portion and a second data package portion;
- sending the first data package portion via the base network adaptor;
- and
- sending the second data package portion via the add-on network adaptor,
- wherein the processor is configured to communicate control signals with one of the base network adaptor and the add-on network adaptor,
- wherein the control signals are configured to cause a reboot or other corrective measures to each of the base network adaptor processor and the add-on network adaptor processor, and
- wherein control of the base network adaptor processor is independent of control of the add-on network adaptor processor.
