Abstract:
1. A method for transporting data from a first device to a second device through a limited bandwidth computer network comprising: providing a front-end device comprising an interface to communicate data with at least one first device, said data comprising one of more data packets of a first type; providing a back-end device comprising an interface to communicate data with at least one second device, said data comprising one or more data packets of said first type; connecting a first wireless communication interface to said front-end device; establishing at least one communication channel coupling the front-end device and the back-end device wherein at least a portion of the at least one communication channel is configured to transport data wirelessly via said first wireless communication interface between said at least one front-end device and said at least one back-end device in one or more data packets of a second type, said second type differing from said first type; receiving said data comprising one or more data packets of said first type from said first device at said front-end device; encoding said data received by said front-end device from said first device by converting said data into one or more data packets of said second type, wherein said step of encoding comprises changing characteristics of said data based at least in part on quality of service information; transmitting said encoded data from said front-end device to said back-end device over said at least one communication channel with said first wireless communication interface; decoding said encoded data received from said front-end device at said back-end device into data comprising packets of said first type; and transmitting said decoded data from said back-end device to said second device.
