Patent ID: 8446883

Claim:
A radio network system comprising: a plurality of source transceiver units, each of the source transceiver units having an assigned source address and being operative to transmit an encoded source transceiver output signal, the source transceiver output signal including a destination address and a message payload; a plurality of destination transceiver units, each of the destination transceiver units having an assigned destination address; a router gateway having a first interface in radio communication with at least one source transceiver unit, and a second interface in radio communication with at least one destination transceiver unit; the router gateway including at least one decoder for decoding the source transceiver output signal and deriving the included destination address therefrom; the decoder further decoding the source transceiver output signal and deriving the included message payload; the router gateway further including a plurality of encoders, each of the encoders being associated with a dedicated destination transceiver unit, and each of the encoders being operative to encode the decoded message payload into a format suitable for communication to the dedicated destination transceiver unit; and the router gateway further containing a routing path database operative to map the decoded source transceiver output signal to an encoder dedicated to a destination transceiver unit.
