Abstract
A network apparatus (1) including —a base station (10) having a first interface (12); —a docking station (20) connectable with the base station (10) and having a second interface (22); and —at least one transmission module of a plurality of interchangeable transmission modules (13a, 13b) configured to be connected to the base station (10) or to the docking station (20), wherein the transmission modules (13a, 13b) have network interfaces compatible with both the first interface (12) and the second interface (22).
Claims15
A network apparatus including
- a base station having a first interface and configured to provide network access gateway functionality;
- a docking station connectable with the base station and having a second interface, wherein the docking station is configured to extend the network access gateway functionality of the base station;
- and
- at least one transmission module of a plurality of interchangeable transmission modules configured to be connected to the base station or to the docking station, wherein the plurality of interchangeable transmission modules have network interfaces compatible with both the first interface and the second interface.
A base station having a first interface and configured to provide network access gateway functionality, the base station being configured to be included in a network apparatus also including a docking station connectable with the base station and having a second interface and at least one transmission module of a plurality of interchangeable transmission modules configured to be connected to the base station or to the docking station, wherein the plurality of interchangeable transmission modules have network interfaces compatible with both the first interface and the second interface, and wherein the docking station is configured to extend the network access gateway functionality of the base station.
A docking station having a second interface, the docking station being configured to be included in a network apparatus also including a base station having a first interface, configured to provide network access gateway functionality, and at least one transmission module of a plurality of interchangeable transmission modules configured to be connected to the base station or to the docking station, wherein said docking station is connectable with the base station and the transmission modules have network interfaces compatible with both the first interface and the second interface, and wherein the docking station is configured to extend the network access gateway functionality of the base station.
