An apparatus for communications by a home station among remote stations in at least one communication medium. The apparatus comprises (a) local signal receiving circuitry for receiving an originating signal containing local intelligence; and (b) local signal processing circuitry for conveying the local intelligence via a communication medium to a target remote station; (c) remote signal receiving circuitry for receiving a transmitted signal containing remote intelligence; and (d) remote signal processing circuitry coupled with the remote signal receiving circuitry for processing the transmitted signal for conveying the remote intelligence to a user. The local signal receiving circuitry, the local signal processing circuitry, the remote signal receiving circuitry and the remote signal processing circuitry are implemented in a unitary structure borne upon a single silicon substrate. The method comprises the steps of: (a) providing an apparatus implemented in a unitary structure borne upon a single silicon substrate; (b) providing information processing circuitry implemented in the unitary structure for dynamically determining network routing among the remote stations for establishing communications with at least one target remote station not in direct communication with the home station; (c) ascertaining input and output capabilities of the home station; (d) polling selected remote stations to ascertain their network capabilities; (e) defining at least one primary network route among the remote stations for communicating with the target remote station; and (f) conveying the local intelligence via a communication medium to the target remote station using the primary network route.
