Abstract
A method for enabling the integration of the Personal Access Communications System (PACS) which supports low-tier radio, wireless communication devices with a GSM network used to support high-tier, cellular devices to allow connection of the PACS system to public switched telephone networks that do not have Advanced Intelligent Network capabilities. The functions of the conventional PACS Access Manager are redistributed among the various components of the PACS/GSM integrated system. Modifications to the PACS protocol to make it compatible with GSM protocol are detailed.
