Abstract
There is provided an arrangement for providing access to a cellular communication network, comprising: a base unit (312) configured be in connection with the cellular communication network and one or more connection modules (302, 314), the one or more connection modules being connectable in a wired or wireless manner to the base unit and form a part of the base unit (312) when connected. The arrangement may provide a terminal device an access to a cellular communication network either directly via a communication module or via the base unit to which one or more communication modules may be connected.
Claims15
An arrangement for providing access to a cellular communication network, comprising:
- a base unit configured be in connection with the cellular communication network;
- one or more connection modules, the one or more connection modules being connectable to the base unit;
- the connection module configured to communicate wirelessly with a terminal device, form a wireless connection with the cellular communication network and provide the terminal device access to the cellular communication network while being separate from the base unit;
- the base unit configured to communicate wirelessly with the terminal device via the one or more connection modules when the one or more connection modules are connected to the base unit and provide the terminal device access to the cellular communication network.
A method of providing access to a cellular communication network by an arrangement comprising a base unit configured be in connection with the cellular communication network and one or more connection modules, the one or more connection modules being connectable to the base unit;
- the method comprising
- a terminal device connecting to a connection module of the one or more connection modules;
- providing the terminal device by the connection module of the one or more connection modules an access to the cellular communication network when the connection module is not connected to the base unit;
- providing the terminal device by the base unit an access to the cellular communication network by communicating wirelessly with the terminal device via the one or more connection modules when the one or more connection modules are connected to the base unit.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising program
- instructions that, when executed by an apparatus, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
- connecting to a terminal device;
- providing the terminal device access to the cellular communication network when apparatus is not connected to a base unit;
- providing the terminal device access to the cellular communication network via the base unit by communicating wirelessly with the terminal device and with the base unit in a wired or wireless manner when the apparatus is connected to the base unit.
