Abstract

A method and apparatus for establishing communication paths includes a portable transceiver carried or worn by a company representative, for communicating in a wireless mode of operation with a stationary base station, thereby enabling the representative to move freely about for performing multiple tasks. A plurality of customer stations outside of the company building are connected electrically to the base station, which includes a switching arrangement to select an individual one of the customer stations for connection to a base station transceiver. The portable transceiver includes a single input device in the form of a push button paging switch for each customer station. The single device causes a customer station to be selected, a communication link to be established and terminated, and controls both the customer and the representative audible communications.
