Abstract

A cordless telephone system serves a building with a moving conveyance such as an elevator. The system has at least one portable cordless telephone, at least one fixed base station that communicates with the portable cordless telephone by a wireless circuit outside the moving conveyance, and a moving-conveyance base station that communicates with the portable cordless telephone by a wireless circuit inside the moving conveyance. A central switch routes calls to the fixed base station or moving-conveyance base station according to the field strength of signals received at these stations from the portable cordless telephone.
