An advanced wireless IP STB is provided with multiple built-in antennas capable of capturing plural downstream transmissions simultaneously on dedicated receivers using different modem technologies without the use of wires to the home. The proposed solution facilitates the advanced wireless IP STB being able to receive multiply sourced data traffic, including, for example, IPTV, digital TV, web TV, radio web, internet chat; written, voice and video, GPS tracking locator signals, media player web support, web based video gaming, You Tube and the like video streaming, TV surveillance, video intercom surveillance, and much more. The advanced wireless IP STB is configured to be able to establish a broadband (internet) session through previously assigned or negotiated channel assignments between one or more modems and plural remote wireless infrastructures widely deployed in a municipality, such as WIMAX, LTE, WCDMA, CDMA 1×, TDSCMA, GSM, GPRS, EDGE, 5G or the like. |

1. An apparatus comprising:
a plurality of modem modules, wherein each modem module is configured to:
receive radio frequency (RF) signals; andprocess the received RF signals according to a different respective wireless communication standard; and a processor communicatively coupled to the modem modules, wherein the processor is configured to:
establish, using at least two of the modem modules, a plurality of wireless network links between the apparatus and at least one wireless data network;obtain, using each of the at least two modems modules, a respective set of data transmitted through one of the wireless network links;determine an RF signal strength associated with each set of data;identify, from among the sets of data, a set of data corresponding to a strongest RF signal strength;determine internet protocol television (IPTV) signals based on the set of data corresponding to the strongest RF signal strength; andtransmit output signals corresponding to the IPTV signals to a device communicatively coupled to the apparatus;wherein the apparatus is a set top box. |
