Abstract
A multimode telecommunication terminal device has a plurality of interfaces for accessing a plurality of wired and/or wireless telecommunication networks from a plurality of subscriber telecommunication terminal units, and control means operatively connected to the interfaces. The control means include switching means arranged to operatively interconnect the interfaces such as to provide access to the plurality of wireless networks via corresponding wireless subscriber terminal units operatively connected to a corresponding interface. The terminal device may include a radio interface including a radio access unit or radio base station, in particular a radio access unit operating in accordance with a cordless radio communication standard such as the Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) standard.
