Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for utilizing cellular technology to communicate from locations that are separate or physically distant from the location of a subscriber identity module (SIM) and/or physically separate from a mobile or cellular device are provided. One method may include receiving a request from a user to remotely access at least one physical SIM that is assigned to a global network of radio communications gateways, and assigning at least one of the SIMs to one of the radio communications gateways, so that the assigned SIM is able to route communication to or from the user via its assigned radio communications gateway.

Abstract: The present invention is addressed to method and apparatus for establishing a wireless communications network utilizing portable solar powered access points. Each access point includes a solar panel connected to a base unit containing-one or more charge storage assemblies. A charge controller controls the recharging of the charge storage assemblies. Also contained within the base unit is an access point. A voltage control device controls the flow of electrical charge from the charge storage assemblies to the access point. On the exterior of the base unit is a weatherproof connector for connecting the solar panel to the base unit. Another weatherproof connector is provided on the exterior of the base unit for connecting an antenna, which sends and receives radio transmissions within a basic service area. Yet another weatherproof connector is provided to enable the base unit to be connected to an existing wired network, if desired.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for packing a data bus by moving ports that are associated with assigned time slots from a first set of time slots to a second set of time slots on the data bus. After all the time slots that can be moved are moved, the remaining time slots are shifted on the data bus resulting in larger contiguous groupings of time slots.
