<p>An integrated local communication system (100) comprising a plurality of locally-positioned communication devices (110-1 - 110-N), at least one of which locally-positioned communication devices is operably coupled to a local interface module (120-1 - 120-N). A local communication link is selectably effectuated between any two locally-positioned communication devices (110-1 - 110-N) via at least one local interface module (120-1 - 120-N) by transforming a non-local communication signal into a local communication signal and transceiving the local communication signal using a single preselected communication protocol that is common to all local communication links. An exemplary embodiment (200) may include at least one mobile station associated with a Public Land Mobile Network, at least one radio-enhanced phone interfacing device (210) associated with a Public Switching Telephone Network (260), at least one electronic data terminal selectably disposed in a distributed computing environment, and at least one wireless headset for hands-free operability.</p> |
