Abstract

See full text

A cradle adapter connection allows I/O contacts between a non-wireless device (NWD) and a wireless cradle adapter or similar wireless enabling attachment. The enabling attachment can make any non-wireless device (NWD) unit wireless enabled while being plugged into the cradle adapter, in a similar manner as shown for a cell telephone/mobile device (CT/MD), to access a number of wired, optical or wireless communication paths through the ports. The cradle adapter itself may have multiple antennas, multiple T/R units and multiple processors built-in to deliver full functionality, and it may also accommodate multiple wired or wireless devices to be plugged in at the same time. The cradle adapter may contain power ports for the individual devices in addition to the I/O ports, and it may be a passive pass through-connection enabling device or may have internal electronics to perform certain server functions to control data traffic.
