Abstract: 1. Transportable equipment as network node between networks for transmitting analog, digital and/or pulse-modulated signals in communication connections between a communication satellite and exchanges for extension stations and/or terminal stations with antennas, locating system, modules, walls, lifting devices, doors and/or vent openings at or in a supporting frame wherein the equipment consists of a) profiled supports (6, 6'), which are disposed horizontally in a supporting frame, in which moveable lifting supports (23, 23') are located with non-positively disposed lifting devices (7, 7'), b) the leveling system, which controls the individual lifting device rods (22, 22'), separately by means of the lifting devices (7, 7'), c) a satellite antenna (11), which is disposed in the inactive state within the equipment underneath a roof (4), which is to be opened, on a storage space module (1), d) an operator module (3) with an integrated measurement and control module and a locating system for calculating the geographic location in real time for determining the north-south direction and for calculating the data for controlling the satellite antenna (11) to the position of the communication satellite (19), which is to be used, after leveling and comparing the data of the location, the north-south direction, and the position of the position of the communication satellite (19), which is to be used. 2. The equipment of claim 1, wherein the lower edge of the lifting device (7) terminates with the lifting support (23) at the outer ends of the lifting support (23) in the retracted state and is located within the outer dimensions of the supporting frame. 3. The equipment of claim 1, wherein the lifting support (23) with the lifting devices (7) can be extended individually to the outside from the profiled supports (6) and the lifting device rods (22) can be controlled individually. 4. The equipment of claim 1, wherein the satellite antenna (11) preferably is a multiband offset antenna system. 5. The equipment of claims 1 and 4, wherein the satellite antenna (11) preferably is a 2.4 m multiband offset antenna system. 6. The equipment of claim 1, wherein the locating system is a global positioning system (GPS) and contains an electronic compass. 7. The equipment of claim 1, wherein the roof (4), which is to be opened, is a folding or sliding roof. 8. A method for producing communication connections between networks by means of a network node for transmitting analog, digital and/or pulse-modulated signals between a communication satellite and exchanges for extension stations and/or terminal stations with antennas, locating system, modules, walls, lifting devices, doors and/or vent openings at or in a supporting frame, characterized by the steps of leveling the equipment horizontally and vertically up to a level position, calculating the geographic location of the equipment from the data of the GPS (global positioning system) in real time, determining the north-south direction from the data of a compass, calculating the data for controlling the alignment of the satellite antenna with the communication satellite after comparing the data of the location, the north-south direction and the position of the communication satellite, which is to be used and aligning the satellite antenna with the communication satellite and establishing the communication connections with the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Networks), the ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) and/or the ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode). 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the leveling of the equipment is controlled centrally and takes place separately over individual lifting devices (7, 7') with the lifting device rods (22, 22'). 10. The method of claim 8, wherein, for the determination of the geographic location, the signals, sent by the GPS satellite, are measured and processed in real time in the measurement module and the data for controlling the satellite antenna are calculated in the control module. 11. The method of claim 8, wherein preferably HICOM cordless systems (digital call handling devices for extension station facilities from Siemens) or GSM (global system for mobile communication) are used as operator module for establishing the communication connections.
