Abstract

Mobile radio systems with mobile switching centers to which at least one private branch exchange for providing wireline subscriber lines is connected, are known. The branch exchanges require an expensive switching technology and are not capable of providing mobile-radio-specific service features at the wireline subscriber terminals. For the purpose of providing a mobile radio system (MRS) of simple construction accessible also to wireline subscribers, a mobile switching center (MSC) is proposed comprising an interface unit (IF) for interfacing to a concentrator (FSU) which combines a plurality of subscriber lines of wireline subscriber terminals (T1 to Tn). Accordingly, each of the wireline subscriber terminals is connected in such a way that it is treated like a mobile radio terminal, and offered the same available service options. The administration of the subscribers of the wireline subscriber terminals (T1 to Tn) is preferably implemented via a home location register (HLR) and the wireline subscriber terminals include card reading devices for reading authorization cards (SIM).
