ABSTRACT:
A network system comprises a first logic block configured to provide a link to a first network via an access point of a wireless LAN and a second logic block configured to communicate with a first node of a second network and further configured to provide a link between the first node and the first network via the access point, wherein the network system is configured to maintain continuous connections to both the access point and the first node of the second network while receiving power. The second network can be a wireless personal area network with the second logic block configured to communicate with the first node using a modified communication protocol that is only partially compliant with an 802.11x communications protocol. Also provided is a wireless hub for integrating a wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) seamlessly into a wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) includes, in part, a wireless circuit compliant with the WLAN standard, a processor coupled to the wireless circuit and a memory module that is coupled to the wireless circuit and the processor. The WLAN standard can be an 802.11x standard. The software platform allows the wireless circuit to connect to the WPAN, without losing connectivity (such as association and synchronization) to the WLAN. The wireless circuit can be configured to connect to the WLAN and WPAN alternately.
