17. An antenna module for a motor vehicle, comprising:
-
a first antenna device having one or more external antennas arranged on an external side of a bodywork structure of the motor vehicle, including a particular external antenna configured for communicating wireless first communication signals of a wireless external telecommunication service between (a) an external telecommunication device located external to and remote from the motor vehicle and (b) an internal telecommunication device configured for the wireless external telecommunication service and located internal to or part of the motor vehicle, a second antenna device having one or more internal antennas arranged on an internal side of the bodywork structure of the motor vehicle, including a particular internal antenna configured for communicating wireless second communication signals of a wireless internal telecommunication service between two internal telecommunication devices configured for the wireless internal telecommunication service and located internal to or part of the motor vehicle, the wireless internal telecommunication service being independent from the wireless external telecommunication service, wherein the particular external antenna is not configured to communicate the wireless second communication signals of the wireless internal telecommunication service, and the particular internal antenna is not configured to communicate the wireless first communication signals of the wireless external telecommunication service, and a control device of the antenna module electrically connected to both the first antenna device and second antenna device for supplying electricity from the control device to both the first and second antenna devices. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 27, 28)

36. An antenna module for a motor vehicle, comprising:
-
one or more external antennas provided on a first carrier plate arranged an external side of a bodywork structure of the motor vehicle, including a particular external antenna configured for communicating wireless first communication signals of a wireless external telecommunication service between (a) an external telecommunication device located external to and remote from the motor vehicle and (b) an internal telecommunication device configured for the wireless external telecommunication service and located internal to or part of the motor vehicle, one or more internal antennas provided on a second carrier plate arranged on an internal side of the bodywork structure of the motor vehicle, including a particular internal antenna configured for communicating wireless second communication signals of a wireless internal telecommunication service between two internal telecommunication devices configured for the wireless internal telecommunication service and located internal to or part of the motor vehicle, the wireless internal telecommunication service being independent from the wireless external telecommunication service, wherein the wireless second communication signals of the wireless internal telecommunication service are not carried by any of the one or more external antennas, and wherein a footprint of the first carrier plate arranged on the external side of the bodywork structure at least partially overlaps a footprint of the second carrier plate arranged on the internal side of the bodywork structure.
