Abstract:
1. A method of facilitating communications between wireless devices using multiple different frequencies via a peer-to-peer network, comprising: receiving, at a first peering point communicatively coupled to the peer-to-peer network, a first wireless signal from a first wireless communication device, the first wireless signal communicated from the first wireless communication device over a first wireless communication system that uses a first frequency for wireless communications; down-converting, at the first peering point, the received first wireless signal to a down-converted digital signal; applying a business rule to the down-converted digital signal, wherein the business rule indicates that the first wireless signal should be transmitted to another second wireless communication device over a second wireless communications system in a second wireless signal using a second frequency that is different from the first frequency, wherein the business rule comprises a secure-network portable policy comprising enabling criteria and actions, wherein the enabling criteria describes conditions that are to be in effect at an active peering point, and wherein the actions indicate actions to be taken by the active peering point when the secure-network portable policy becomes active; when the business rule indicates that the down-converted digital signal should be transmitted to the second wireless communication device, communicating information of the down-converted digital signal through the peer-to-peer network to a second peering point that is communicatively coupled to the peer-to-peer network; translating, at the second peering point, the down-converted digital signal into the second wireless signal configured to be communicated to the second wireless communication device over the second wireless communication system that uses the second frequency for wireless communications, wherein the second frequency is different from the first frequency; and transmitting the second wireless signal in the second frequency to the second wireless communication device.
