A local site communication system, including a broadband connection between the
local site and an internet, a wireless local site network in the local site and
communicating data between the broadband connection and the mobile terminal when
the mobile terminal is located at the local site, and a cyber base station connected
to the internet and communicating data between the broadband connection and a mobile
switching center whereby the mobile terminal when located at the local site connects
to a mobile switching center via the wireless local site network, the broadband
connection, the internet and the cyber base station. A voice client converts data
between wireless signals on the wireless local site network and internet protocol
signals on the broadband connection, and the cyber base station mimics a radio
base station to the mobile switching center. The communication system is included
in a cellular system including a plurality of low power wireless local site networks
located in cells and served by the cyber base station. The wireless local site
networks include a low power transceiver for communicating with mobile terminals.
Methods of handing off a mobile terminal between cells and cybercells, and of placing
and receiving calls in cybercells are also described.
