A system and method for data transmission incorporating a channel bridge node which can identify and deliver data traffic requiring delivery via alternate 802.11 data channels. The system and method provides a channel bridging node which is configured to communicate via each channel of the available spectrum in series. The node advertises this capability and accepts data traffic for communication over any number of channels. Data is buffered for subsequent delivery once the node is configured to communicate via the channel to which the data is addressed. In doing so, the system and method provides a channel bridge which enables routing of 802.11 data traffic across channels in 802.11 ad-hoc networks, thus increasing ad-hoc network capacity.
