Wireless multipurpose communication system
First Claim
1. A versatile wireless communications system, characterized in that it comprises in combination:
- a multiple outlet terminal (100) connected to a plurality of telecommunications lines (102) and comprising;
means (106, 108, 110) for interfacing with said plurality of lines;
a plurality of individual outlets (104); and
distributor means (114, 116) suitable for selectively coupling said plurality of outlets to said plurality of lines;
at least one individual connection module (200) suitable for being separably mounted on one of said outlets, and comprising;
interface means (202) for interfacing with said distributor means of the terminal;
wireless transceiver means (204, 206); and
control means (208, 210) for controlling the interface means and the transceiver means, being suitable for converting signals delivered by the distributor means of the terminal and coming from a line into radio signals for transmission, and for converting received radio signals into signals that are delivered to the distributor means of the terminal for application to the same line; and
for each individual connection module, at least one independent out-station (300) comprising;
wireless transceiver means (302, 304) suitable for establishing a both-way call with an individual connection module associated with said out-station; and
interface means (306, 308) for interfacing with transducers (310, 312, 314) for picking up and/or playing back audio, video, and/or digital data signals.

Abstract
The system comprises a multiple outlet terminal (100), individual connection modules (200), and independent out-stations (300). The terminal (100) is connected to a plurality of telecommunications lines (102) and comprises line interface means, a plurality of individual outlets (104), and distributor means. Each module (200) can be separably mounted on any one of the outlets and comprises means for interfacing with the distributor means of the terminal, wireless transceiver means, and control means suitable for converting the signals coming from a line and delivered by the terminal into radio signals, and for converting received radio signals into signals for delivering to the same line. Each out-station (300) comprises wireless transceiver means suitable for establishing a both-way communications channel, and means for interfacing with transducers (310, 312, 314) for picking up and/or playing back audio, video, and/or digital data signals.
