DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention advances the art by providing a communication system that integrates multiple layers of wireless systems including a free-space laser device to provide communications to fixed, portable and mobile customer sites.
Advantageously, the present communication system integrates a plurality of radio frequency wireless devices and free-space laser devices into an efficient homogeneous architectural integration having multiple layers of wireless communications.
Some examples of wireless access services provided include but are not limited to broadband, narrow band, fixed, mobile and portable services.
The present communication system increases efficiency and leverages combined use of network assets by managing high volumes of communications over the most appropriate layer based on invoked customer service demand, cost and criticality of the traffic.
Advantageously, downtime of mission critical traffic is minimized while cost efficiency and throughput performances are maximized.
Additionally, the wireless layers are configured into a cell structure with each cell containing layers topologically designed with systems appropriate for different geographic and demographic service objectives and includes a wireless system for the interconnection of the cell cites within the cell structure.
Services provided by the present communication system include but are not limited to, voice telephony, data services, video, email services, messaging, Intranet/Entranets/Extranets, content and information services, multimedia, video, email and electronic commerce.
The communication system comprises a first communication node, connected to a second communication node by a wireline.
The first communication node comprises a free-space laser device, a first wireless system, and a first wireline device.
The free space laser device is configured to receive and transmit free-space laser signals, to receive and transmit first inter-node signals, and to convert between the free-space laser signals and the first inter-node signals
