Abstract
A wireless transceiver connects to a telephone line network terminal, in place of a disabled subscriber drop cable. A second wireless transceiver connects to customer premises wiring, typically at the network interface device and in place of the drop cable. The wireless transceivers preferably provide a cordless telephone type link. The second transceiver presents a standard telephone line appearance to the customer premises telephone wiring. Standard telephone station equipment, connected to the customer premises wiring in the normal manner, can make and receive telephone calls, as if still connected to a wire-line type telephone loop circuit.
