Personal Wireless Grid - Software (Host)
Publicly online since 2010 · U.S. patent applications since 2012 · inventions offered since 2014. The work of Christopher Gabriel Brown, independently documented.
Personal Wireless Grid makes wired peripherals cordless. Fit a small adapter to any wired device — a USB drive or printer, a bench instrument, an audio source — and it joins your Wi-Fi. Your PC still sees it exactly as if it were plugged in locally; the cable is simply gone. Put your gear where you need it, not where its cord reaches.
Your personal PC becomes the wireless hub for every wired peripheral in the room. Mice on shelves, instruments on benches, drives in the back closet, an audio jack across the building — all of them appear on your one machine as if they were plugged in locally.
In plain English
This is the program you run on one personal PC. It opens the door for every Personal Wireless Grid adapter on your Wi-Fi to come in and announce itself. The moment an adapter checks in, the software opens a matching local port for it — so any program on your PC can talk to that remote peripheral as if it were right there on the desk.
The wire is gone. Your PC is the hub. The peripherals are where you need them to be, not where their cable allows. That is the heart of the 2017 deposition that started this product line, made real.
In technical terms
A Python-based router-a-gone host that listens
for PWG adapter check-ins (TCP, newline-JSON wire protocol, default port
7373). Each verified adapter spawns its own
presentation port on the local machine
(7400+N). Upstream-pump and downstream-acceptor threads forward bytes
bidirectionally between the local socket and the remote adapter; an adapter
class hint (usb, serial, audio, …)
lets the host suggest the right OS-level shim (com0com / VB-Cable / socat
PTY) where applicable.
- Windows / Linux / macOS Python host.
- Hot-attach / hot-detach — ports appear and disappear automatically.
- JSON wire protocol with
data,write,ctrl, andbyeframe types; base64-encoded payloads, idempotent reconnect. - Per-adapter byte counters and an introspection snapshot for monitoring.
- Sim-adapter library shipped alongside so the whole grid can be exercised without hardware on hand.
What is included
- The full PWG host software.
- The PWG wire protocol specification.
- The CLI (
python -m uniphi.pwg --demo) and the sim-adapter library (USB, serial, audio). - The release-grade test harness.
Design targets
- Adapter check-in to local presentation port available in under 1 second on a local Wi-Fi.
- Per-adapter throughput: 64 kB/s USB bulk, 115.2 kbps serial, 8 kHz 16-bit mono audio (each a design target).
Performance values are design targets, not guarantees.

Personal Wireless Grid is patent pending (U.S. Utility Application No. 19/717,706, filed 06/24/2026, inventor: Christopher Gabriel Brown; the same patent application also covers the related UniPhi product line). Purchase grants use of the software and design files included in this listing for the buyer’s own build — it does not transfer, assign, or license the underlying patent-pending invention. The patent and all derived rights are retained by the inventor.
