Method and apparatus for transportation of data over a managed wireless network using unique communication protocol

Apparatus for redundant transmission in a system including a signal path having an upstream server terminal and a downstream Remote Terminal of proprietary host language protocol, the path having a server terminal leg, a Remote Terminal leg, and an interchange transmission leg;

• comprising:
• a) a terminal controller having
• a terminal side and a interchange side,
• a Com Object and Channel Object pair on the terminal side
• a Com Object and multiple Channel Objects on the interchange side
• b) a Channel Manager Object between the terminal side channel and the interchange side multiplicity of channels;
• c) the Com Object doing message header translations between protocols & mux/demux of messages between multiple Channel Objects;
• d) the Com Objects being placed at juncture points with communications outside the controller;
• e) the Channel Objects being placed between the Com Objects and the Channel Manager Object
• f) the Channel Objects monitoring message failure, and changing operational states to act as gates in signal path;
• g) the Channel Manager Object doing polling and selection of channels.

A method of transmission in a signal path having an upstream server terminal and a downstream Remote Terminal of proprietary host language protocol, comprising:

• a) establishing a server terminal controller connection with a server;
• b) establishing a remote terminal controller connection to the Remote Terminal;
• c) receiving a Remote Terminal message;
• d) stripping the Remote Terminal message down to produce data message with only data and address information;
• e) packetizing and encrypting the data message;
• f) adding a terminal controller header to the data message to produce a terminal controller message;
• g) selecting a signal carrier and assigning the terminal controller message to transmission on said signal carrier;
• h) adding a signal carrier header to the terminal controller message to create a signal carrier message;
• i) transmitting the signal carrier message on the selected signal carrier to the server terminal controller;
• j) stripping the signal carrier header to recreate the terminal controller message;
• k) checking the server address in the terminal controller message;
• l) assigning the message to the intended server channel and stripping the terminal controller header;
• and
• m) acknowledging receipt of the message by the server terminal controller to the remote terminal controller.

A method of redundant data transmission in a signal path having an upstream server terminal and a downstream Remote Terminal of proprietary host language protocol, comprising:

• a) packetizing and encrypting a data message;
• b) adding a terminal controller header to the data message to produce a terminal controller message having:
• packet type, sequence number, and circuit identifier information, as well as said data message;
• c) tracking the state of transmission capability on each channel, including counting failed transmissions, and reporting the state of transmission capability;
• d) adding a wireless carrier header to the terminal controller message to create a wireless message;
• e) transmitting the wireless message on a selected wireless carrier to the server terminal controller;
• f) stripping the wireless header to recreate the terminal controller message;
• g) checking the server address in the terminal controller message;
• h) assigning the message to the addressed server channel and stripping the terminal controller header;
• and
• i) acknowledging receipt of message by the server terminal controller to the remote terminal controller;
• and
• j) opening and closing channel paths based on the receipt of the message.

Apparatus for managing a wireless, secure, real-time, network for a proprietary interactive data transfer network having a remote terminal and a server, comprising:

• a) means for transceiving data messages from the Remote Terminal in a first format;
• b) means for removing the first format from the data message to create a bare message;
• c) means for packetizing the bare message;
• d) means for encapsulating the bare message;
• e) means for encrypting the bare message;
• f) means for adding a second message format to the bare message to create a second format message;
• g) means for selecting a signal transmission format for sending of the second format message;
• h) means for adding a third signal transmission format to the second format message to create a signal transmission message;
• i) means for sending the signal transmission message via the selected signal transmission format;
• j) means for monitoring reception of the translated data by the server;
• and
• k) means for opening or closing data paths based on the monitored reception.

A method of transmission in a signal path having an upstream server terminal and a downstream Remote Terminal of proprietary host language protocol, comprising:

• a) establishing a server terminal controller connection of a first protocol with a server;
• b) establishing a remote terminal controller connection of a second protocol to the Remote Terminal;
• c) receiving a Remote Terminal message;
• d) packetizing and encrypting the data message;
• e) selecting one from a plurality of signal paths based on availability or reliability, or both, of packet transmission between the remote terminal and the server, wherein each one of said plurality of signal paths is associated with a different wireless format;
• f) sending the message over the selected signal path;
• and
• g) acknowledging receipt of message by the server terminal controller to the remote terminal controller.
