radio-frequency transmission and reception, and a second antenna
permitting long-range radio-frequency transmission and reception to and
from a remote radio-base station. The on-vehicle telecommunication system
also has a third antenna installed in the shielding case; a second
communication module connected to the third antenna to permit, inside the
shielding case, short-range radio-frequency communication with the first
communication module of the user portable communication device; and a
user interface device, which is installed in the vehicle, is connected to
the second communication module, and permits remote use by a user of the
user portable communication device to effect long-range radio-frequency
transmission and reception to and from the remote radio-base station.
