Abstract

The present invention disclosed a unified communication system based on micro base station. The system includes: a micro base station subsystem, a landline telephone network subsystem, an office network subsystem and a communication switching subsystem. The communication switching subsystem receives a voice service request from the micro base station subsystem and the landline telephone network subsystem, sends the voice service request to the micro base station subsystem when a called user in the voice service request is a mobile communication intranet user, sends the voice service request to the landline telephone network subsystem when the called user in the voice service request is a landline telephone network user, receives a service request from the micro base station subsystem, and sends the service request to the office network subsystem.
