  • Patent number: 7551921
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to devices and methods that provide a user of a decentralized asynchronous parallel-configured wireless communication system for voice, data and live digital video streaming communication with the ability to select various communication paths and calling bandwidths as needed. The system uses a novel Time-Shared Full Duplex (TSFD) protocol for communications. The TSFD protocol allows the transmission of live digital video signals from one wireless device to another wireless device. The system provides local communication as well as optional links to external networks, and does not require a synchronous centralized switching center. It further provides secure operation, emergency notification and a way to collect revenue from the system, and allows for control of the operational state of the internal network and optional remote control of the operational state control of systems external to the network.

  • Patent number: 7395056
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a Time-Shared Full Duplex (TSFD) asynchronous wireless communications protocol for use in a TSFD wireless communication system. The wireless protocol utilizes broadband PCS radio frequency (RF) spectrum with PCS low band reserved for receive frequencies and PCS high band for transmit frequencies. The radio frequencies can be received or transmitted by a TSFD wireless device or a signal extender or a network extender.

  • Patent number: 7085560
    Abstract: A decentralized asynchronous wireless communication system is disclosed for providing the remote location retrieval of voice and data communication and allowing for flexibility of communication paths for local communication or for communication to external networks. The system makes use of external data communications modules that may communicate in a local mode, an extended mode, or a distant mode. The external data communications modules may also provide a communication path to a Public Switch Telephone Network and other communication medium. The entire system is monitored by a network of personal computers comprising an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Network to manage any catastrophic system failure. The entire system is suitable for operation in rural areas having a low population density and urban areas where hours of peak call loading could otherwise be detrimental to call completions.

  • Patent number: 6842617
    Abstract: A decentralized asynchronous wireless communication system is disclosed for providing voice and data communication that allows flexibility of communication paths for local communication or for communication to external networks. The system makes use of communication docking bays that may communicate in a local mode with other communication docking bays or handsets within a same microcell via signal extenders. In an extended mode, a communication docking bay located in a first microcell of a first macrocell may communicate with a second communication docking bay or handset in a second microcell of the first macrocell via signal extenders and a network extender. In a remote mode, a communication docking bay located in a first microcell of a first macrocell may communicate with a second communication docking bay or handset in a second microcell of a second macrocell via signal extenders and network extenders.
