Abstract
A modular communications, command, and control system with plug-and-play connectivity, utilizing configurable independent base stations and portable handsets that preferably have similar components and functionality so as to be interoperable. The system utilizes an open system interconnection architecture preferably having fully integrated layers permitting inter-operability with adaptive applications and inter/intra-linking with external appliances and/or apparatuses. Optionally, the system may be utilized to perform extended information handling/processing, networking, personal assistance, industrial, commercial, medical, military, and/or security functions.
