Cellular phone line replacement adapter

A system, comprising:

• a fixed communication device, wherein the fixed communication device includes a cellular transceiver, a secondary RF transceiver, subscriber line interface circuitry including a phone line connection, an Ethernet transceiver including an Ethernet connection, a microcontroller and a power supply for supplying DC power to components of the fixed communication device, wherein the cellular transceiver transmits data on a cellular network, wherein the microcontroller controls said transmission of data, and wherein the secondary RF transceiver provides a non-cellular, bi-directional communication link with non-cellular devices;
• and
• a data device connected to the fixed communication device via the Ethernet connection, wherein the cellular transceiver transmits, via the cellular network, data received from the data device without initiating a voice call on the cellular network, and wherein, upon initiation of communication by the data device, the fixed communication device processes the data and forwards the data as a series of formatted packet-switched data packets,
• wherein the fixed communication device is adapted in a physical form of an AC wall adapter.

A fixed communication device, comprising:

• a cellular transceiver that communicates data on a cellular network via data packets;
• a secondary RF transceiver for wireless non-cellular communication of data with a non-cellular device;
• an Ethernet transceiver for coupling to a data device;
• and
• a microcontroller including a memory, wherein the microcontroller controls functionality of components of, and transmission of data through, the fixed communication device,
• wherein, upon initiation of communication of data by one of the non-cellular device and the data device, the fixed communication device processes the data and forwards the data on to the cellular network, via the cellular transceiver, as a series of formatted data packets, and
• wherein the fixed communication device is adapted in a physical form of an AC wall adapter.
