Abstract: A system for expanding access to PSTN based telephone lines (landlines). The system can achieve landline reliability and superior voice quality similar to Skype or VoIP at computing devices such as desktops, laptops, smartphones (e.g., Blackberries®, iPhones®, PDAs), cell/mobile phones, tablets, and the like, by allowing landline calls to and from such computing devices. The PSTN landline connection can be used for placing or receiving calls through such computing devices, and can be made available at alternate external fixed and mobile locations, i.e., at locations other than a standard wired or wireless telephone connected to a wall jack. A LandLink CPE is provided for connecting at least one computing device to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) for making calls.
