Abstract
A system for transmitting originated information from one of a plurality of originating processors in an electronic mail system to at least one of a plurality of destination processors in an electronic mail system in accordance with the invention includes a RF information transmission network for transmitting the originated information to at least one RF receiver which transfers the originated information to the at least one of the plurality of destination processors; at least one interface switch, the at least one interface switch being coupled to the electronic mail system containing the plurality of originating processors and the RF information transmission network and transmitting the originated information received from the electronic mail system containing the plurality of originating processors to the RF information transmission network; and at least one additional processor with each additional processor being coupled to at least one interface switch and transmitting other originated information to the interface switch. The interface switch receiving the other originated information from one additional processor adds RF network information used by the RF information transmission network during transmission of the other originated information to the at least one RF receiver receiving the other originated information.
