  • Patent number: 8195950
    Abstract: A wireless public domain Wide Area Network (WPDWAN) is a system and method of providing high throughput data services to public domain customers through the use of encoded 2.4 Ghz microwave transmissions. Connecting computers to multi-point wireless bridges USi11g the 2.4 Ghz spectrum has been available for many years. However, the concept of opening the service to public domain has long been limited due to authentication, security and inevitable routing concerns. With the incorporation of a wireless router, methods of authentication through the use LDAP MAC authentication with route control and logical segmentation to preclude sniffing actions. This problem has been addressed with WPDWAN. The WPDWAN provides high data throughput connection rates to residential, commercial and mobile customers. The WPDWAN allows users to connect to the Internet backbone using a 2.4 Ghz 802.IIb standard PCMCIA card. These cards function at rates of at least 2 Mbps.

  • Patent number: 7765309
    Abstract: A wireless provisioning device (WPD) is a computer data traffic management system capable of routing TCP/IP traffic using unlicensed spectrum equipment. This WPR is to be strategically placed in logical segment regions within a wireless network to facilitate data traffic management. This device acts to provide connectivity between wireless backbone access points. The device may also be located within customer local area network (LAN) while providing connectivity to a wide area network (WAN). The wireless device has seven total wireless segments. The wireless device is capable of filtering IP addresses, spam, pornographic content, steganographic decryption, controlling firewall and/or routing and/or bridging. The increases effective throughput of TCP/IP traffic over the WAN or LAN while providing for secure management and greater connectivity.
