Abstract: A bridge system establishes a network connection between each of a plurality of private computer networks and a public computer network. The bridge system includes a plurality of bridge devices, each bridge device being connected to the public computer network. Additionally, the bridge system includes a central controller in connection with each bridge device. The central controller configures each bridge device for wireless communication with a designated private network, with aspects of the bridge device configuration being reviewable and modifiable through a network interface in communication with the central controller. Accordingly, the bridge system creates a private-to-public network link between each private network and the public network. As a result, an internet-enabled device with access to the network link is afforded with all the network services and resources provided by the private network over the substantially broadened geographic area of coverage delivered by the public network.
