<p>A decentralized asynchronous wireless communication system (10) is disclosed for providing voice and data communication over local communication links and links to external communication networks. The system makes use of handsets (300) that may communicate in a local mode with other handsets within a same microcell via signal extenders (600). In an extended mode, a handset located in a first microcell of a first macrocell may communicate with a second microcell of the first macrocell via signal extenders and a network extender (800). In a remote mode, a handset located in a first microcell of a first macrocell may communicate with a second handset in a second microcell of a second macrocell via signal extenders and network extenders. The system is particularly suitable for operation in rural areas with low population density.</p> |
