System and method for splitting a communication data stream

This invention describes a way for a mobile device to use multiple mobile networks at the same time to send and receive data faster or more reliably. It works by splitting a data stream into smaller parts, sending each part over a different mobile network connection, and then reassembling them at the other end. This requires the mobile device to be able to connect to and be subscribed to at least two different mobile networks simultaneously.

Why it matters: Filed before dual-SIM mobile devices were common, and before 4G/5G networks offered advanced multi-path and carrier aggregation capabilities. Modern mobile hardware and network infrastructure now provide the necessary foundation for a single device to actively utilize multiple mobile network connections simultaneously.
