The present invention sets forth a network-centric service distribution
method that integrates a wireless access system/service in the residence,
SOHO, business or public environment through the use of a local broadband
network, such as a Residential-Business Broadband Network (RBN), to the
service provider's broadband transport network and to a service
provider's broadband packet network that facilitates end-to-end packet
telecommunication services. The method includes the step of connecting
said service provider's broadband packet network to the RBN via said
service provider's broadband transport network. Call and service
termination functions to a plurality of local RBN devices are also
provided in the method. Signals from a plurality of wireless devices are
accepted and forwarded to an IEEE 802.11b interface for a wireless modem
and/or to an Ethernet interface for a Voice over Internet Protocol
(VOIP)/Ethernet Processor, where the forwarded signals comprise intranet
telephony and data.
