A method of enabling a wireless communication over a network in response to an indication of an emergency, the method comprising: in response to a call associated with said emergency, causing a base station to provide a wireless backhaul link in an uplink frequency band for further sending said call over said network; further comprising: accepting said call and associated information even when said network is being off line; and storing (150,310) said call and said associated information including storing a voice call on at least one of a local disk and a random access memory; and forwarding said call over said wireless backhaul link when a fixed wired backbone network link indicates a malfunction; characterized by swapping a transmit frequency band with a receiver frequency band to reconfigure the base station into a terminal; and the storing said call further comprises: detecting whether a link to a backbone network is available; and if so, uploading information associated with said call in non-real time using at least one of a satellite connection, a wireless local area network connection, a WiMAX connection, a UMTS link and a CDMA link to another base station having a backhaul connectivity. in response to a call associated with said emergency, causing a base station to provide a wireless backhaul link in an uplink frequency band for further sending said call over said network; further comprising: accepting said call and associated information even when said network is being off line; and storing (150,310) said call and said associated information including storing a voice call on at least one of a local disk and a random access memory; and forwarding said call over said wireless backhaul link when a fixed wired backbone network link indicates a malfunction; characterized by swapping a transmit frequency band with a receiver frequency band to reconfigure the base station into a terminal; and the storing said call further comprises: detecting whether a link to a backbone network is available; and if so, uploading information associated with said call in non-real time using at least one of a satellite connection, a wireless local area network connection, a WiMAX connection, a UMTS link and a CDMA link to another base station having a backhaul connectivity. accepting said call and associated information even when said network is being off line; and storing (150,310) said call and said associated information including storing a voice call on at least one of a local disk and a random access memory; and forwarding said call over said wireless backhaul link when a fixed wired backbone network link indicates a malfunction; characterized by swapping a transmit frequency band with a receiver frequency band to reconfigure the base station into a terminal; and the storing said call further comprises: detecting whether a link to a backbone network is available; and if so, uploading information associated with said call in non-real time using at least one of a satellite connection, a wireless local area network connection, a WiMAX connection, a UMTS link and a CDMA link to another base station having a backhaul connectivity. detecting whether a link to a backbone network is available; and if so, uploading information associated with said call in non-real time using at least one of a satellite connection, a wireless local area network connection, a WiMAX connection, a UMTS link and a CDMA link to another base station having a backhaul connectivity.
