1. Apparatus for use in improving the operational capability of a bucket truck comprising:

  • a truck cab transceiver, said truck cab transceiver comprising a speaker, and a voice-activated microphone;

    a bucket transceiver, said bucket transceiver comprising a speaker and a voice-activated microphone;

    a fiber optic cable configured to selectively interconnect said truck cab transceiver with said bucket transceiver;

    said fiber optic interconnection configured to maintain high voltage electrical isolation between the bucket and the truck cab, while permitting communication between said bucket transceiver and said truck cab transceiver to be free from electrical interference;

    means for automatically taking-up and letting out a portion of said fiber optic cable between said bucket transceiver and said cab transceiver, as required by movement of said bucket transceiver; and

    said truck cab transceiver comprising a radio interface configured to permit said interference free communication from said bucket transceiver to said cab transceiver, through said fiber optic cable, to be wirelessly communicated to a distal transceiver, to permit hands-free interference-free communication between said bucket transceiver and the distal transceiver.
