Abstract: Forwarding wireless signals comprises a user and a counterpart opening secure applications on a user computing device and a counterpart computing device, respectively. The user places the user computing device within range of a wireless signal, such as a wireless signal provided by a point of sale (“POS”) terminal. The user computing device forwards the wireless signal from the POS terminal to the counterpart computing device. The user computing device forwards the wireless signal from the counterpart computing device to the POS terminal. Thus, the counterpart computing device may conduct a transaction with the POS terminal as if the counterpart computing device were at the location of the POS terminal. The counterpart computing device may also receive a forwarded beacon signal comprising data, such as an offer, provided by the POS terminal or another suitable beacon transmission device at the merchant location.
