Abstract
A system and method to provide cost effective, portable and convenient access to the Internet and other personal computer applications from any location within a predetermined distance from a desktop personal computer (PC). According to one aspect, a compact handheld terminal functions as a user interface device and communicates via an FM frequency hopped radio link with a base station which is located near and connected with the desktop PC. The handheld terminal allows home users to conveniently and remotely interface with their desktop PC with a freedom of movement similar to that of using a laptop PC while allowing an inexpensive network connection. The FM frequency hopped radio link carries the appropriate video, audio, keyboard and mouse signals between the desktop PC and the handheld terminal. The approach may be adapted to short range transfer of high quality video in a variety of applications.
