Remote communication system for use with a vehicle
First Claim
1. A remote communication system for use with a vehicle, comprising:
- a first communication unit, located within a vehicle, said first communication unit comprising a first transceiver, connectable with a long-distance wireless communication network, such as a cellular network; and
a second nortable communication unit, comprising a second transceiver, connectable with a unit for long-distance wireless communication, such as a cellular terminal, whereby said first and second communication units are connectable with each other using said long-distance wireless communication network, thereby establishing a remote two-way communication link between said first and second communication units;
wherein said remote two-way communication link established between said first and second communication units extends from said first communication unit to said long-distance wireless communication network to said unit for long-distance wireless communication to said second communication unit such that information is transferrable from said first communication unit to said second communication unit over the remote two-way communication link and such that information is transferrable from said second communication unit to said first communication unit over the remote two-way communication link;
wherein said second communication unit is connectable with said unit for long-distance communication using a short-distance wireless communication link;
wherein said second communication unit is a fob unit.
