Abstract

A packet-switched communication system providing a combination wireless access device and client, for communicating with a remotely-disposed control unit wired to a wired access point, includes an antenna, uplink channel circuitry coupled to the antenna and configured to communicate with at least one of an upstream wired access point, and an upstream packet-switched communication system, through the antenna on an uplink channel over an uplink channel link, cell channel circuitry coupled to the antenna and configured to communicate with a downstream packet-switched communication system through the antenna on a cell channel over a cell channel link, a subscriber information input apparatus comprising at least one of a touch-responsive device, configured to provide indicia corresponding to touches by a subscriber, and a microphone configured to transduce audio signals to electrical signals, and a controller coupled to the uplink channel circuitry and configured to cause subscriber information received from at least one of the antenna through the cell circuitry, and the subscriber information input apparatus, to be conveyed toward the control unit via the uplink channel circuitry.
