The present embodiments provide a system and method for seamlessly roaming
between different wireless access technologies. In an exemplary
embodiment, a universal wireless access gateway (UWAG) may include a
shared component and a first environment access module (EAM) that
communicates with the shared component to enable access to a first
network using a first wireless access technology. Additionally, the UWAG
may include a second EAM that communicates with the shared component. The
second EAM and shared component may enable access to a second network
using a second wireless access technology that differs from the first
wireless access technology. An exemplary data structure including various
pointer blocks and data blocks may also be provided for switching between
different wireless access technologies.
