Patent ID: 7385956

Claim:
A system for routing calls between a switching unit and a mobile unit, comprising: a wireless adjunct, in communication with the switching unit and a packet based network, operable to receive data from the switching unit and place the data, in packetized form, on the packet based network; a radio transmit point, in communication with the packet based network and the mobile unit, operable to receive the data, in packetized form, from the packet based network and provide the data to the mobile unit; a switching unit interface for communicating with the switching unit and receiving the data; a network interface for communicating with the packet based network and transmitting the data to the radio transmit point;and a processor in communication with the switching unit interface and the network interface, the processor operable to manage call processing and provide data from the switching unit interface to the network interface; wherein the wireless adjunct comprises: an RE interface, wherein the RE interface is operable to receive RE signals from an RiP source, convert the RE signals to baseband data, and provide the baseband data to the processor; and wherein the processor is operable to convert the baseband data to packetized data for provision to the network interface.
