The apparatus includes a transceiver, a dedicated modem, a frequency converter, at least one controller and a bus. The transceiver receives a first wireless signal associated with a first predefined wireless communication standard and a second wireless signal associated with a second predefined wireless communication standard. The dedicated modem is capable of processing the first wireless signal. The frequency converter down converts a second frequency of the second wireless signal. The controller receives data on the second wireless signal and processes the data on the second wireless signal. The bus is configured to divert the data from the second wireless signal from being received at the dedicated modem by directly transmitting the data from the second wireless signal to memory. The controller is further programmed to access the memory for processing the data on the second wireless signal. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An apparatus for wireless communication, the apparatus comprising: a transceiver configured to receive a first wireless signal from a first wireless transmitter associated with a first predefined wireless communication standard at first frequency and to receive a second wireless signal from a second wireless transmitter associated with a second predefined wireless communication standard at a second frequency;
