Apparatus for providing telephone connection between one or more cellular
radio telephones and a cellular radio switching system, comprises at
least one moveable base transceiver station (511) for providing a radio
connection with the cellular radio telephones, and having means for
detecting whether the moveable base transceiver stations are in range of
a fixed base transceiver station (543), and means for controlling the
output of the moveable base transceiver stations (511) when such a fixed
base transceiver station is detected such that transmissions from the
moveable base stations do not interfere with transmissions from the fixed
base station within a predetermined area surrounding the fixed base
station (543). The system may also include a position finding system
(590, 591), linked to the output control such that transmissions from the
transmitter (511) cannot be detected within a predetermined area (T).
