Claim 0:
1. A method of securing a transmission of a contiguous stream of data from a plurality of spatially distributed transmitters to one receiving device such that the transmitted contiguous stream of data is received at a location of the receiving device, said method comprising:
portioning the contiguous stream of data into at least a first data portion and a second data portion;
coordinating the first and second transmitters such that the first and second data portions arrive at the one receiving device as the contiguous stream of data;
transmitting the first data portion to the one receiving device by a first transmitters at a first time and transmitting the second data portion to the one receiving device by a second transmitters at a second time, wherein the first and second transmitters are spatially separated and the first and second transmission overlap in space, but not time, at the one receiving device;
utilizing a coordinating system such that the plurality of data portions arrive at the receiving device in a first order; and
arranging the received plurality of data portions from the first order into a second order for the received contiguous stream at the receiving device such that the second order of the received contiguous stream follows a sequence substantially similar to a sequence of the input stream of data.
