Abstract

See full text

A system and method for registering a wireless telephone which is normally operative in its corresponding wireless telephone network to a selected wireline of the Public-Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) wherein upstream signaling takes place out-of-band. A base station in electrical communication with one or more selected PSTN wirelines detects when the wireless telephone comes within its registration range. A Set-Top Terminal (STT) in electrical communication with the base station and the broadband network provides the interface to send upstream signaling to the PSTN and the corresponding wireless telephone network through the broadband network. The STT coordinates the delivery of upstream signaling, sets up the physical connections between the PSTN and the STT for billing and other purposes and coordinates the delivery of the upstream signaling to other service providers, where applicable.
