Abstract
A communications system provides access to services when direct Internet connectivity is not practical. The system includes a beam modem and a beam API server. The beam modem receives a web request from a client device through a short range interface, modifies the request, and transmits the modified web request to the beam API server via a cellular connection. The beam API server then extracts an endpoint address and request data from the web request and determines an external web service from the endpoint address. The server transmits the request data to the external web service and, after receiving a response to the request data, reduces the size of the response data and sends it back to the beam modem via the cellular connection. The beam modem converts the response data to client device readable form and transmits it to the client device via the short range interface.
