Abstract
An integrated wireless and wireline telecommunication switch. The switch includes peripheral modules having both wireless and wireline peripheral devices. The switch also includes wireless and wireline software load. An aspect table allows the wireless and wireline software load within the switch to be executed within a single call without creating direct dependencies on each other. The switch allows new and more efficient connections between wireless and wireline subscribers. In many cases wireless and wireline subscribers having direct access to the switch can connect without using any other switches in the network.
