Universal serial bus dongle device with wireless telephony transceiver and system for use therewith

A system comprising:

• a universal serial bus (USB) dongle device that includes:
• a wireless telephony transceiver that receives an inbound radio frequency (RF) signal, that generates inbound data based on the inbound RF signal, that receives outbound data and that generates an outbound RF signal in response thereto, wherein the inbound RF signal and the outbound RF signal are formatted in accordance with a wireless telephony protocol;
• a first USB interface coupled to format the inbound data in a USB format and to recover the outbound data from outbound data received in the USB format wherein the first USB interface includes a USB controller circuit coupled to format the inbound data in the USB format for communication to a host device and to recover the outbound data from the outbound data received in the USB format;
• and
• a millimeter wave interface, coupled to the wireless telephony transceiver and the USB controller circuit, including a first millimeter wave transceiver coupled to the wireless telephony transceiver and a second millimeter wave transceiver coupled to the USB controller circuit that wirelessly communicates the inbound data and the outbound data between the wireless telephony transceiver and the USB controller circuit via intra-chip signaling in a millimeter wave frequency band;
• wherein the wireless telephony transceiver, the millimeter wave interface and the USB controller circuit are included in an integrated circuit package;
• the host device includes:
• a second USB interface, when connected to the first USB interface, receives the inbound data in the USB format, formats the outbound data in the USB format and transfers the outbound data in the USB format to the first USB interface;
• and
• a processor coupled to execute an application based on the inbound data received by the second USB interface and that transfers outbound data to the second USB interface.
