Abstract: An adapter for a cellular mobile phone unit which converts the unit to include a plurality of telephone numbers. A main circuit board is coupled to a microprocessor of the unit, which board includes a plurality of number assignment modules, or NAM's (ROM's), each NAM having its own unique telephone number code. The NAM's are connected such that fifteen of the sixteen pin-connections of each NAM are correspondingly and respectively connected in series, for coupling to the fifteen pin-connections of a plug at one end of a ribbon cable, the other end of the ribbon cable being coupled to the microprocessor of the unit via the conventional NAM connection therefor. Each remaining pin of each NAM, which is not connected in series, is connected to a unique stop of a multi-position switch, so that a selected one of the NAM's may be coupled to the microprocessor in order to change the telephone number from one to another.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a wireless PBX network wherein direct sequence spread spectrum multiple access is used for voice and data communications to support a plurality of local-local and local-external calls. The present wireless PBX arrangement comprises a plurality of local user transceivers using a first separate unique chip sequence patterns for information communication and a second common chip sequence pattern for call-set up; and a central PBX comprising (a) a plurality of PBX transceivers, each of which uses a separate first chip sequence pattern which is matched to a corresponding local user transceiver; (b) a switching means for interconnecting local users to each other or to an external network via the associated PBX transceivers; and (c) a call set-up receiver responsive solely to initial call set-up information sent by any user using the second common chip sequence pattern.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing interference free rf communications between remote handsets and host subscriber units in a Cellular Radio Telephone System includes the use of data transmission and voice channels assigned by microprocessors to track the currently assigned base station/subscriber unit channel assignment--but offset therefrom by one channel thereby to reliably and automatically arrive at an interference free channel.

Abstract: A cordless telephone comprises a base unit and a plurality of remote units. The remote units are respectively adapted to establish radio communication at separate times with the base unit. Each remote unit generates a particular code in a particular format that includes at least one interval in which the particular code is present and at least one interval from which the particular code is absent. The particular code and particular format of each remote unit are different from those of the other remote units. A transmitter in each remote unit transmits the particular code of that unit in the particular format thereof to the base unit. The particular formats are such that the transmission of each particular code periodically corresponds to non-transmission of all of the other particular codes of the remote units. The particular codes can thus periodically be received by the base unit without interference caused by transmission of the other particular codes.

Abstract: The mobile radio set has a rectangular parallelepiped-shaped case suitable for mounting in the dashboard of an automobile. The handset can be locked at its earpiece and mouthpiece into a cradle mounted on the front panel of the case so that the handset can be positioned in a rest position across the front panel. The keys, mounted on the side of the handset facing away from the cradle, are readable and operable in the rest position of the handset. With a lock mounted in the handset, the mobile radio set can be deenergized and the handset can be blocked in the cradle.
