Communication apparatus capable of selectively using a plurality of access channels

Abstract

A communication apparatus is connected to a network on one of a plurality of access channels selected. An amount detecting circuit detects the amount having influence on the quality of communication held on the access channel selected. A selecting circuit selects one of the access channels to be used for communication in accordance with the amount detected by the amount detecting circuit. The communication apparatus dynamically selects an optimum access channel for thereby effecting efficient, high-quality communication.
