Abstract
A portable transreceiver system transmitting voice communications over a data network is described. The system has a portable transreceiver (WT) mode where multiple users are connected using semi duplex communications, and a private mode in which pairs of users are connected using full duplex communications. Wireless voice enabled terminals are used by the users, and are interconnected via a network such as the Internet.
