Abstract

The present invention relates to a communication station (MT; FIGS. 1, 2; FIGS. 3, 4) including a power supply unit (6, 6′, 6″), a core unit (1) connectable to the power supply unit (6, 6′, 6″) and constituted by a mechanically rigid assembly (9-14, 15-1, 15-2, 16-20) of all other electrical units of the communication station except for the power supply unit, and a shell unit (2-6) which houses the core unit (1) and comprises no electrical units of ther communication station. Front and back housings of the shell unit can be exchanged easily, since no electrical connections are necessary to the core unit during the exchange. Thus, differently shaped communication stations can be easily achieved from a variety of differently shaped housings.
