Abstract
A mobile communication system and a method for connecting a remote workstation to a data network via a mobile communication network, which allow a remote workstation to be connected more flexibly over a radio path by providing a special interconnecting computer in conjunction with a mobile exchange for extending the connection to a designation data network. The interconnecting computer thus acts as a bus between the remote workstation using the mobile communication network and its home data network, simulates the operation of the remote workstation towards the data network, and takes care of the real remote workstation, which is behind the radio path. A data connection established over the radio path can be released so as to minimize the air time when the radio path is not needed for telecommunication, but the interconnecting computer keeps the extended connection active towards the data network.
