Abstract

A communication network for establishing communication channels and distributing programming between and to exercise devices or other equipment. The communication network includes server side components for wirelessly transmitting and coding programming (e.g., television programming) to the exercised devices, serving applications, and establishing a network gateway. The communication network further includes client side components, e.g., exercise devices, for wirelessly receiving and decoding programming, accessing and running applications, and establishing a network connection by way of the server side gateway. The communication network also establishes a platform for interaction between client devices.
