Abstract: An apparatus and method for obtaining real-time video data and broadcasting it to a remote PC or other mobile computing device upon request by a user. The transmitting unit uses the cellular transmission network to transmit video data at high speeds and is a self-contained, autonomous unit of relatively small size. The unit can also be easily camouflaged to avoid detection when utilized as a surveillance device.

Abstract: An apparatus to provide a multi-media communications access point for vehicles that permits subscribing devices to transmit file data, and telephonic or video data to other remote devices via an HSDPA RF communications network. The apparatus includes a wireless access switch, a cellular data transceiver, an optional data network signal booster, two antennas, and an input-output interface panel. Firmware in the wireless access point allows high-speed access to the cellular data network and point to point mobile communications from one apparatus to another minor apparatus.
