Abstract
A personal communications system enables the operator to simultaneously transmit voice and data communication to a remote site. The personal communications system is equipped with two telephone line interfaces to allow connection over a communications link between two remote sites. The personal communications system incorporates advanced priority statistical multiplexing of non-time-critical data with time-critical data over the communications link to increase channel throughput without a reduction in quality of the time-critical data. The personal communications system may be networked in different topological configurations to enable conferencing in a variety of time-critical and non-time-critical communications.
