1. A system for communicating digital data over a voice channel of a digital telecommunications network comprising:
- an input for receiving digital data;
a processor for converting the digital data into audio tones; and
an output for outputting the audio tones to digital transmission circuitry that encodes the audio tones in a same manner used for encoding voice signals and transmits the encoded audio tones over the same voice channel in the digital telecommunications network used for transmitting the voice signals;
including a computer for converting the digital data into a format used by a sound card for generating audio tones; and
wherein the computer formats the digital data into packets having a preamble that preconditions the digital transmission circuitry to prevent corruption of the tones representing the digital data.

Abstract
An inband signaling modem communicates digital data over a voice channel of a wireless telecommunications network. An input receives digital data. An encoder converts the digital data into audio tones that synthesize frequency characteristics of human speech. The digital data is also encoded to prevent voice encoding circuitry in the telecommunications network from corrupting the synthesized audio tones representing the digital data. An output then outputs the synthesized audio tones to a voice channel of a digital wireless telecommunications network.

4. A system for communicating digital data over a voice channel of a digital telecommunications network comprising:
-
an input for receiving digital data; a processor for converting the digital data into audio tones; an output for outputting the audio tones to digital transmission circuitry that encodes the audio tones in a same manner used for encoding voice signals and transmits the encoded audio tones over the same voice channel in the digital telecommunications network used for transmitting the voice signals; and including a computer coupled and a sound card coupled to the computer, the computer sending a location request to a cellular telephone, the sound card converting the location request into audio tones and transmitting the audio tones over the digital telecommunications network, the sound card then monitoring a phone line for a response from the cellular telephone and digitizing audio tones from the cellular telephone representing positional data, the computer then converting the digitized audio tones into digital data and displaying the digital data on a computer screen.

5. A system for communicating digital data over a voice channel of a digital telecommunications network comprising:
-
an input for receiving digital data; a first processor for converting the digital data into audio tones; and an output for outputting the audio tones to digital transmission circuitry that encodes the audio tones in a same manner used for encoding voice signals and transmits the encoded audio tones over the same voice channel in the digital telecommunications network used for transmitting the voice signals; and a second processor that formats the digital data into packets having a preamble that preconditions the digital transmission circuitry to prevent corruption of the tones representing the digital data.
