System, apparatus, and method for providing wireless communication and a location tag

A computer-program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium that is programmed for wireless communication, the computer-program product comprising instructions to:

• receive a first wireless signal from a first wireless transmitter associated with a first predefined wireless communication standard at first frequency;
• receive a second wireless signal from a second wireless transmitter associated with a second predefined wireless communication standard at a second frequency;
• down convert the first frequency of one of the first wireless signal or the second frequency of the second wireless signal;
• process, via a dedicated modem, the first wireless signal;
• process, via at least one controller, data on the second wireless signal associated with the second predefined wireless communication standard after down converting the second frequency of the second wireless signal;
• divert the data on the second wireless signal, via a bus, from being received at the dedicated modem by directly transmitting the data from the second wireless signal to memory;
• access the memory to process the data on the second wireless signal associated with the second predefined wireless communication standard;
• obtain a beacon timestamp on the second wireless signal in response to processing the second wireless signal at the second frequency associated with the second predefined wireless communication standard;
• and
• obtain a Media Access Control (MAC) address on the second wireless signal in response to processing the second wireless signal associated with the second predefined wireless communication standard, wherein the MAC address provides an identifier for the second wireless transmitter that transmitted the second wireless signal.
