Patent ID: 8190204

Claim:
A method to utilize a digital, wireless PC/PCS modem having an antenna attached to a PCMCIA card-type interface in communication with an integrated circuit board, said modem works in conjunction with a computer provided with a swivel-based camera, a microphone and at least three tuner cards to relay wireless communications via satellite, said method comprises the steps: passing digital signals transmitted via a satellite link and a wireless relay system from said antenna that receives said signals to a series of line amplifiers, said series of line amplifiers and a network switching element have an input buffer coupled therebetween, said network switching element receives input from said PC/PCS modem, said network switching element has a frequency/feedback along with a channel/screen selection function flowing from said switching network bi-directionally to a multi-tuner; passing data received from said multi-tuner module to a microprocessor; and passing said data on to a universal asynchronous receiver transmitter via a first bi-directional path, said universal asynchronous receiver transmitter is responsible for all data transfers from a computer system to the computer system's modem output system, wherein said data transfer occurs between all modules through a series of parallel bus, a series of serial transmit bus and a series of serial receive bus.
