Wireless device and assembly
View Patent ↗A system for wireless communication comprises a first communication device having a first interface for interfacing with a host device and a second interface; and a second communication device configured to be coupled to the second interface of the first communication device. The first communication device and the second communication device, when coupled, form a substantially integrated device.
1. A system for wireless communication comprising:
a first communication device having a first interface for interfacing with a host device, a second interface, a first antenna element for communication with a first network, and an enlarged portion at one end, the enlarged portion including the first antenna element; and
a second communication device, including a second antenna element for communication with a second network and an enlarged portion, configured to be coupled to the second interface of the first communication device,
wherein the first communication device and the second communication device, when coupled, form a substantially integrated device and wherein the enlarged portion of the second communication device is congruent with the enlarged portion of the first communication device.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the substantially integrated device has a substantially rectangular profile.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the enlarged portion of the second communication device includes the second antenna element.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the enlarged portion of the second communication device includes an LED, wherein the LED is operable during data transfer.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the enlarged portion of the second communication device includes a fingerprint detection module, the fingerprint detection module being operable to give access to wireless communication within the system.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the enlarged portion of the second communication device includes an adapter for connection to one of serial ATA (SATA), Firewire, memory card, Ethernet, SmartCard, or serial port.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first interface is configured to be coupled to a computing device.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first interface comprises a universal PC Card connector.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first interface comprises an ExpressCard connector.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second interface is one of Universal Serial Bus (USB), USB 2.0, Firewire, PCI Express serial, SmartCard, or Subscriber Identification Module (SIM).
11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first communication device comprises a wireless modem.
12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second communication device comprises an ExpressCard module in accordance with PCMCIA standards.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the ExpressCard module comprises one of a tuner, adapter or reader.
14. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first communication device includes a memory element.
15. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first communication device has a non-conductive material lining on an inner wall interfacing the second communication device when coupled.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the lining contains a slot for securing placement of the second wireless communication device.
17. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first communication device is configured to intercept one or more wireless signal types.
18. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first communication device has an L-shaped configuration.
19. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first communication device has a U-shaped configuration.
20. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first communication device includes a latching mechanism configured to secure coupling of the second communication device.
