The wired segments are based on new or existing wires (5 a, 5 b, 5 c, 5 d, 5 e) in the building, wherein access to the wires is provided by means of outlets (61 a, 61 d), such as a telephone system, electrical power distribution system, or cable television wiring system. The non-wired segments are based on communication using propagated waves such as radio, sound, or light (e.g. infrared). The wired and non-wired segments interface in the outlet, using a module (50) that serves as mediator between the segments. The module can be integrated into the outlet, partially housed in the outlet, or attached externally to the outlet. Such a network allows for integrated communication of data units (24 b) connected by wires and data units (24 a, 24 d) connected without wires.
