Abstract
A gateway includes a local area network (LAN) port, a mobile communication interface and a controlling module. The gateway uses the LAN port to communicate with a LAN outside the gateway, and uses the mobile communication interface connecting to an mobile communication apparatus to communicate with a telecommunication network outside the gateway. The controlling module built in the gateway includes a detecting module and a driving module. The detecting module is used for detecting if the mobile communication apparatus connects to the mobile communication interface. As soon as the detecting module finds the mobile communication apparatus, the driving module is activated to utilize the mobile communication apparatus to communicate with the telecommunication network, and thereby the gateway can establish a communication between the LAN and the telecommunication network.
