Introduction to the Companion system

access lines
The Companion system allows you to make and receive calls throughout your
site using a wireless telephone.
As shown in Figure 1, the basic Companion system consists of a Controller,
Base Stations and a portable for each user. The Controller provides the
connection between the external telephone system, using access lines, and the
Companion system, using ports. Base Stations relay call information between
the Controller and portables. Portables are wireless telephones.
