Patent ID: 7742466

Claim:
One or more circuits for a switchboard device, the one or more circuits comprising: at least one processor communicatively coupled to at least one wideband communications interface and at least one narrowband communications interface, the at least one processor operating to, at least: receive wideband data from the at least one wideband communications interface, the received wideband data comprising low-band data and high-band data; receive narrowband data from the at least one narrowband communications interface, the received narrowband data comprising low-band data; combine the low-band data from at least one of the at least one wideband communications interface and low-band data from at least one of the at least one narrowband communications interface to produce combined low-band data to be sent to at least one of a designated narrowband communications interface or designated wideband communications interface; combine high-band data from at least one of the at least one wideband communications interface to produce combined high-band data to be sent to a designated wideband communications interface; send the combined low-band data to at least one of the designated narrowband communications interface or designated wideband communications interface; and send the combined high-band data to the designated wideband communications interface.
