In one exemplary embodiment, a system for providing data access between an
information source and a mobile communication device includes a
transcoding system and a first network device. The transcoding system
includes a plurality of transcoders, and each transcoder is operable to
transcode information content from a respective first content type into a
respective second content type. The first network device is in
communication with the transcoding system and includes a connection
handler system. The connection handler system is operable to receive
connection data for a connection between the information source and the
mobile communication device and to select a corresponding connection
handler. The connection handler is operable to select one or more
transcoders from the plurality of transcoders to transcode the
information content.
