Assignee: ARRIS ENTERPRISES LLC
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 5:
6. The wireless communication system of claim 1, wherein:
the processor comprises a first processor and a second processor;
the memory comprises a first memory and a second memory;
the wireless access point includes:
the first processor;
a first network communication interface accessible to the first processor for communication over a local area network or a wide area network with a network controller;
the first memory; and
programming in the first memory, wherein execution of the programming by the first processor configures the wireless access point to perform the functions to:
receive the connection request from the pending computing device to connect via one of the multiple RF communication bands of the wireless network and
establish connection with the pending computing device via one of the multiple RF communication bands of the wireless network to enable communication over the wireless network; and

the system further comprises the network controller, wherein the network controller includes:
the second processor;
a second network communication interface accessible to the second processor for communication over the local area network or the wide area network with the wireless access point;
the second memory; and
programming in the second memory, wherein execution of the programming by the second processor configures the network controller to perform the function to determine whether the multiple RF communication band utilization threshold is exceeded by the connection request from the pending computing device.
