Described is an intraoffice communication system as the final communication link of a broadband, baseband, or fiber optic LAN. Each user or workstation is a node on the network and can transmit at high data rates with bit error rates of </=10-9 in packets through the LAN. Message relaying transponders are placed on the ceiling and walls communicating by electromagnetic waves to individual workstations by broadcast. A novel multipath rejection scheme is combining transponder placements with pseudonoise coding for robust and secure data transmission. For the present state of the art if infrared is used, we estimate a minimum light collecting aperture (receive antenna) of 1 cm2 for transmission rates of 30 to 100 Mb/s.
