Communication device and method of communication using wireless communication protocol

摘要

A communication device (9) has a Wi-Fi® device (14) for communicating with another communication device (9). The Wi-Fi® device (14) has one output connected to an antenna (13) and another output connected to a coaxial cable jack (10) via a coupler (11). The antenna (13) therefore provides a wireless communications link and the coupler (11) provides a wired communications link. A diversity switch (18) of the Wi-Fi® device (14) uses antenna diversity switching provided for in the Wi-Fi® standards to switch between the wireless communications link and the wired communications link.
