摘要

Interface device (101) for a communications network (100) with a multiplicity of first (102) and second (103) nodes. The interface device has a switching unit (104) and a send-receive antenna (105, 106). The interface can couple to any of the nodes and is configured to unambiguously connect a first node to a second node. The second nodes are wirelessly coupled to. The invention also relates to a communications network, aircraft, method for operating a communications network interface and use of the inventive interface device and network in an aircraft (claimed).
