A wireless telecommunications network (100) comprises a multiplicity of Bluetooth(TM) units, some of which are fixed and act as base units (BS1; BS2; BS3; BS4) and some mobile (MS1; MS2; MS3; MS4). The fixed units are connected to a Local Area Network (LAN) along with a telephony gateway (4) and a PABX (5) and PSTN (6).
