Abstract
The invention relates to integrated office communication systems employing a local area network (LAN) for intra-office communications. In the arrangement according to the invention, no other internal networks are needed in the office because computers (10) are connected to the local area network and telephones (5, 7) are either mobile or cordless phones for which there are low-power room-specific base stations (4, 6) in the local area network (LAN). Connections to the outside world are made via a gateway computer (1) and public cellular radio network. Inside the office, the coverage areas of the small base stations (4, 6, 8) are nanocells (4a) of one or a few rooms. A home or small office user has a similar small base station (14) which is cotifected to said local area network via a public communication network (15) and a gateway equipment (13).
