Abstract

The invention relates to a data transfer system and a method of data transfer. The invention aims to provide a high bandwidth channel between a mobile device, such as a mobile telephone and a network storing data, such as the Internet. A standard public land mobile network (PLMN) is used to notify the mobile device that there is data on the network awaiting download. The mobile device user then moves to within range of a high bandwidth short range (HBSR) base station to download the data more quickly than is possible over the PLMN.
