Abstract

Briefly, some embodiments of the invention may provide devices, systems and methods for multi-profile wireless communication. For example, a wireless communication module may include first and second ports, and may be able to selectably operate in either a first mode of operation, in which said first port is used as an input port for incoming signals and said second port is used as an output port for outgoing signals, or a second mode of operation, in which said second port is used as an input port for incoming signals and said first port is used as an output port for outgoing signals.

Claims (6)

1. A wireless communication terminal comprising:

an antenna to send and receive wireless communication signals; and

two or more wireless communication modules having first and second ports, at least one of said two or more wireless communication modules having first and second ports and able to selectably operate in either a first mode of operation, in which said first port is used as an input port for incoming signals and said second port is used as an output port for outgoing signals, or a second mode of operation, in which said second port is used as an input port for incoming signals and said first port is used as an output port for outgoing signals.

2. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 , further comprising a processor to switch said two or more wireless communication modules between said first mode of operation and said second mode of operation.

3. The wireless communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein said first mode of operation corresponds to a first communication profile and said second mode of operation corresponds to a second communication profile.

4. The wireless communication terminal of claim 3 , wherein said first and second communication profiles are selected from a group including cordless telephony profile, intercom profile, cellular profile, Bluetooth profile, Voice Over Internet Protocol profile, Wireless Local Area Network profile, Wireless Fidelity profile, and WiMAX profile.
