A wireless device with multiple antennas is provided according to one embodiment of the invention. The wireless device may be configured to utilize the antennas to communicate with one or more wireless terminals in various ways. According to various embodiments of the invention, these scenarios may include, for example, switching between antennas or software controlled antenna modulation and therefore potentially switching between networks based on application-specific needs; switching antennas based on range limitations; switching between antennas based on aggregation on one network; utilizing multiple antennas to handle high data throughput; switching between antennas based on security needs; and/or switching between antennas based on cost. Various other embodiments of the invention may provide a wireless device that may switch between antennas and therefore networks based on any combination of these scenarios.
