Abstract

A system and method are disclosed which enable communication between devices that communicate in different communication protocols. In a preferred emdodiment, a wireless gateway is disclosed which comprises a plurality of communication modules that are each operable to receive and transmit communication in a particular communication protocol. The wireless gateway further includes a means for translating between each of the communication protocols that are utilized to communicate external to said wireless gateway and an intermediary protocol utilized to communicate internally within the gateway. Most preferably, each of the plurality of communication modules includes a translator operable to translate between its corresponding external protocol and the intermediary protocol. A message interworking unit is further included for routing, in the intermediary protocol, communication received by a communication module to at least one other of the communication modules determined to be proper for transmitting such communication to one or more target devices. The communication module to which the communication to one or more target devices. The communication module to which the communication is routed is capable of translating the intermediary protocol to its corresponding external protocol, and then transmit the communication to a target device in such external protocol. Most preferably, the wireles gateway, upon receiving communication at a module, determines one or more target devices to which such communication is to be directed. Thereafter, the wireless gateway may determine one or more protocols suitable for transmitting to the target device(s), and determine the proper communication module(s) to which the communication is to be routed for transmission in an appropriate protocol.
