Abstract
Inventive concepts and embodiments associated therewith are provided wherein a first device transmits first information to a destination device using a first band of frequencies comprising microwave frequencies and cellular frequencies while a second device, that comprises a connection to the first device, transmits second information to the destination device using a second band of frequencies that differs from the first band of frequencies, is devoid of cellular frequencies and comprises microwave frequencies. In some embodiments, the connection of the second device to the first device comprises a wireless connection. In further embodiments, at least one of said first and second devices comprises a smartphone.
Claims25
A method of conveying data, the method comprising:
- wirelessly transmitting, to a destination device by a first transmitter, first data using frequencies that the Federal Communications Commission has allocated for use by one or more cellular communications system(s) in the United States;
- and
- wirelessly transmitting, to the destination device by a second transmitter that is connected to the first transmitter, second data using a second band of frequencies that is devoid of any frequencies that the Federal Communications Commission has allocated for use by any cellular communications system in the United States;
- wherein the second transmitter is selected and used to transmit the second data to the destination device responsive to having received information indicating that the second transmitter is capable of communicating with the destination device,
- wherein the second transmitter is further selected and used to transmit the second data to the destination device responsive to a size of data that is to be transmitted to the destination device;
- and wherein said second band of frequencies comprises unlicensed frequencies microwave frequencies infrared frequencies and/or ultraviolet frequencies.
A system comprising:
- a first transmitter;
- and
- a second transmitter comprising a connection to the first transmitter;
- wherein the system is configured to perform operations comprising:
- wirelessly transmitting, to a destination device by the first transmitter, first data using frequencies that the Federal Communications Commission has allocated for use by one or more cellular communications system(s) in the United States;
- and
- wirelessly transmitting, to the destination device by the second transmitter that comprises the connection to the first transmitter, second data using a second band of frequencies that is devoid of any frequencies that the Federal Communications Commission has allocated for use by any cellular communications system in the United States;
- wherein the second transmitter is selected and used to transmit the second data to the destination device responsive to having received information indicating that the second transmitter is capable of communicating with the destination device,
- wherein the second transmitter is further selected and used to transmit the second data to the destination device responsive to a size of data that is to be transmitted to the destination device;
- and wherein said second band of frequencies comprises unlicensed frequencies, microwave frequencies, infrared frequencies and/or ultraviolet frequencies.
