The present invention is directed to devices and methods that provide a user of a decentralized asynchronous parallel-configured wireless communication system for voice, data and live digital video streaming communication with the ability to select various communication paths and calling bandwidths as needed. The system uses a novel Time-Shared Full Duplex (TSFD) protocol for communications. The TSFD protocol allows the transmission of live digital video signals from one wireless device to another wireless device. The system provides local communication as well as optional links to external networks, and does not require a synchronous centralized switching center. It further provides secure operation, emergency notification and a way to collect revenue from the system, and allows for control of the operational state of the internal network and optional remote control of the operational state control of systems external to the network.
