ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a multifunctional cellular modem for an aircraft computing device (ACD). The ACD is connectible to a wireless handheld cellular communication device. The ACD may utilize the wireless handheld cellular communication device as a cellular modem to download a file. Alternatively, the wireless handheld cellular communication device may include a storage media and may download the file and store the file in the storage media. Then the ACD may download the file from the storage media of the wireless handheld cellular communication device. The ACD may be installed in the aircraft and may be operable to install the downloaded file in the aircraft. By utilizing the present invention, an ACD is operable to provide a file for an aircraft without requiring costly dedicated PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) cellular cards and service contracts for every ACD.
