A frequency and protocol agile 
wireless communication product, and 
chipset for forming the same, including a frequency agile 
transceiver, a 
digital interface circuit for interconnecting the radio 
transceiver with external devices, protocol agile operating circuit for operating the radio 
transceiver in accordance with one of the transmission protocols as determined by a protocol 
signal and an 
adaptive control circuit for accessing a selected 
wireless communication network and for generating the frequency 
control signal and the protocol 
control signal in response to a 
user defined criteria Among the possible 
user defined criteria would be (1) the cost of sending a data message, (2) the quality of transmission link (
signal strength, interference actual or potential), (3) the potential for being bumped off of the 
system (is 
service provider at near full capacity), (4) the security of transmnission, (5) any special criteria which the user could variably program into his omni-
modal wireless product based on the user's desires or (6) any one or more combinations of the above features that are preprogrammed, changed or overridden by the user. The disclosed invention allows wireless service providers to broadcast electronically as part of any “
handshaking” procedure with a omni-
modal wireless product information such as (1) rate information and (2) information regarding 
system operating characteristics such as percent of 
system capacity in use and / or likelihood of being dropped. The disclosed invention creates a 
user oriented source enrollment and billing service in the 
wireless data market by establishing uniform standard for “handshakes” to occur between 
cell service providers and omni-
modal wireless products. In addition, the disclosed invention can be implemented on a standard 
chip or 
chipset including a radio transceiver specifically designed to be used in all types of omni-modal wireless products.
