摘要

A broadband gateway 10 that communicates with a broadband computer network 30 and narrow band cordless devices 34 is provided. The gateway 10 houses together a connector 12 to a broadband network, which is connected to a broadband modem 14. The broadband modem 14 provides a broadband computer network outlet 16. The broadband modem 14 is also connected to a narrow band cordless device 40. The narrow band cordless device 40 may be formed by a translation board 18 connected to the broadband modem 14, a microprocessor 20 connected to the translation board 18, a burst mode controller 22 connected to the microprocessor 20 and the translation board 18, and a transceiver 24 electrically connected to the burst mode controller 22. A codec device 26 may also be connected to the burst mode controller 22 to allow the use of a conventional telephone 32. <IMAGE>
