Abstract:
A telecommunications system for sending signals over a network including a plurality of mobile nodes. Each mobile node includes a motor vehicle, a wireless transmitter disposed with the motor vehicle having a range for transmitting signals to the network, a wireless receiver disposed with the motor vehicle for receiving signals from the network, a memory disposed with a motor vehicle for storing the signals, a router disposed with the motor vehicle for routing the signals along the network, and an energy source disposed with the motor vehicle for powering the router. The system includes a fixed node. The fixed node preferably has a transmitter for transmitting signals to the network and a receiver for receiving signals from the network. Each mobile node communicates with the fixed node directly if the mobile node is within the range of the fixed node, or indirectly to the fixed node through at least one other mobile node of the plurality of mobile nodes if the mobile node is outside the range of the fixed node. A method for sending telecommunications signals over a network.
