Abstract
A remote telephone system for wireless telephony devices includes a remote server having communication control support to provide digital communication function control. Wireless telephony devices are grouped and the support is independently programmable for each group. The remote server further includes a data port connected to the communication control support for supporting a wireless data link to an individual wireless telephony device, and the remote server uses the data port to exchange programmed digital communication function control with the individual device. The data link to the control support gives the wireless device the functionality of a smart handset and bestows upon the group properties of an office exchange.
