First Claim
1. A telecommunication system for receiving and forwarding a plurality of voice signals, said system comprising:
- a first communication network for receiving the plurality of voice signals and for transmitting the plurality of voice signals;
a first communication means, connected to said first communication network for receiving the plurality of voice signals, storing the plurality of voice signals, and retrieving a portion thereof for transmission;
a second wireless public carrier communication network in communication with said first communication means to receive the portion of voice signals therefrom and for transmitting the portion of voice signals and having means for generating a control signal indicative of said wireless network having transmission capacity;
a plurality of second communication means;
each of said second communication means including means for communicating with said wireless network to receive one of the voice signals;
a second storage means for storing a received one voice signal;
a second playback means for retrieving a voice signal stored on the second storage means; and
a second control means for controlling said second playback means; and
wherein said first communication means including means for receiving the control signal from the wireless network;
means for receiving the plurality of voice signals transmitted on said wired network;
a first storage means for storing a received plurality of voice signals;
a first playback means for retrieving a portion of the stored plurality of voice signals; and
a first control means for controlling said first playback means to transmit the retrieved portion of voice signals to said wireless network, in response to said control signal indicative of said wireless network having the capacity to receive the portion of stored voice signals.

Abstract
In the present telecommunication system, a wired network receives a plurality of voice signals and transmits them. A first communication device is connected to the wired network. The first communication device includes means for receiving the plurality of voice signals, a first storage means for storing the plurality of voice signals, a first playback means for retrieving a portion of the stored plurality of voice signals, and a first control means for controlling the first playback means to transmit the retrieved portion of voice signals. The portion of the stored plurality of voice signals which are retrieved are then placed onto a wireless network which is in communication with a plurality of portable units. Each of the portable units has capability of communicating with the wireless network for receiving the voice signals therefrom, for storing a received voice signal, and for playing back the stored voice signal. Finally, the first communication unit causes the stored plurality of voice signals stored on the first communication unit to be transmitted to a different one of the plurality of portable units.
