Abstract:
1. A method for transmission of digital images via a wireless switching network, comprising the steps of: starting to capture digital images for a photo session by a digital camera; connecting by the digital camera to a wireless telecommunication terminal where the digital camera is separate from the wireless telecommunication terminal; interconnecting the digital camera to the wireless switching network by the wireless telecommunication terminal by interacting with a wireless network controller controlling the wireless switching network; initiating the photo session with a session server by the digital camera via the wireless network and wireless telecommunication terminal; reserving bandwidth on the wireless switching network by the session server interacting with the wireless network controller; automatically transmitting digital images by the digital camera as each of the digital images is captured to a centralized database without user intervention via a first path on the wireless switching network and the session server; maintaining by the session server a base station of the wireless switching network used by the first path if the first path is interrupted using the reserved bandwidth until a different base station interconnects the wireless telecommunication terminal to the wireless switching network; and establishing by the session server a second path for transmission of digital images upon the first path being interrupted and the wireless telecommunication terminal interconnecting to the wireless switching network via a different base station using the reserved bandwidth for the second path wherein the second path uses the different base station of the wireless switching network than the first path.
