1. A local network system comprising:
one or more terminals operable to act as a client on the local network; a gateway device operable to manage communications between the one or more terminals and an external network, the gateway device comprising:
a memory configured to store a set of computer instructions;a processor configured to execute the set of computer instructions;a first communications module in communication with the external network, wherein the first communications module comprises a processor, a memory, and has stored within the memory computer instructions adapted to manage communications according to one communications protocol of a group of communications protocols including passive optical network (PON) wide area networks (WAN), digital subscriber line (DSL) WAN networks, TDM/TDMA WAN and LAN networks, ethernet WAN and LAN networks, DocSIS WAN networks, Wi-Fi LAN networks, ZigBee LAN networks, and femto LAN networks, private mobile radio (PMR) networks;a second communications module for providing communication between the gateway device and at least one terminal, wherein the second communications module comprises a processor, a memory, and has stored within the memory computer instructions adapted to manage communications according to one communications protocol of the group of communications protocols including passive optical network (PON) wide area networks (WAN), digital subscriber line (DSL) WAN networks, TDM/TDMA WAN and LAN networks, ethernet WAN and LAN networks, DocSIS WAN networks, Wi-Fi LAN networks, ZigBee LAN networks, and femto LAN networks, private mobile radio (PMR) networks, and wherein the communications protocol served by the second communications module is different from the communications protocol served by the first communications module; anda third communications module for providing communication between the gateway device and at least one other terminal, wherein the third communications module comprises a processor, a memory, and has stored within the memory computer instructions adapted to manage communications according to one communications protocol of the group of communications protocols including passive optical network (PON) wide area networks (WAN), digital subscriber line (DSL) WAN networks, TDM/TDMA WAN and LAN networks, ethernet WAN and LAN networks, DocSIS WAN networks, Wi-Fi LAN networks, ZigBee LAN networks, and femto LAN networks, private mobile radio (PMR) networks, and wherein the communications protocol served by the third communications module is different from the communications protocols served by the first communications module and the second communications module.
