Furthermore, the system comprises a router module routing the data traffic from the home network over the mobile network or the broadband network

Field of the invent ion internet traffic is contiftuouslyjröWilág^illikl^iki^p^af^hMki^ríW.i'^IICitlons. In: many cases -- especially in rural areas -- the DSL bandwidth cannot be provided by the DSL network operators with a baridwidth that is desired by the user; By using new mobile radm technologies, in particular (LIE, LIE Advanced (Long Term Evolution)}., bandwidth® of 100 Mbits/s or more can also by :pmvided via radio transmission. Therefore, there is the customer's request to use?§ wirefeiS dpnnecflgn for data transmissions in addition to the DSL connection,

Nowadays, JAD's (Integrated Access Devices) are already provided that enable a DSL connection and a mobile (radio) connection with an integrated RF antenna and an integrated Hi- receiver.

Due to the frequencies used Idr théiiéW mobile radio technology, if is necessary to establish the LAD close to a window (near window position) m order to achieve a good mobile radio connection with a high data rate, in this case, a window must be selected in a direction ill is corresponding to the direction of the teli tower of the outwork operator. Even with a proper alignment of the ÍAD, tne reception guanty of the mobile device in the vicinity of the earth surface cannot he optimal; and a good reception quality can only be achieved with a positioning at a higher elevation fist floor or higher), idwfveib in many:, cases the 1AD cannot he optimally positioned, since at locations with optimal mobile signals-there is for rather might he) often no possibility for a connection of the router with I he DSL-line. Technical solutions, such as the installation or relocation of a junction r-ox m the premises, or an extension cord between .LAD end sockets are hardly accepted by the interested users. Also., the Installation of antenna-coax-cahies for the connection of an external additional antenna for the improvement of the mobile radm reception is nor desired- At the moment, the state of the art thus only provides possibility to use a mobile data connection for spatial internet applications m addition to a DSL connection, IP 2348 783 A3 discloses a device in which a DSCdOnneeiloo andia LTE bhhhectiip pfei locally combined via a unit that is mside a house such that the user has an aeeese Ip the llatpet via the lTE connection or the DSL cormeSflbm:: lliairlpiiort if IftiS Invention

The invention comprises an mtegrated: access devsce (fAD) ecChfdmg to the features Of ciasm 1. further embodiments of the IAD are given in the dependent plasms,

Ilié access devsce essentially corresponds to the structure of a DSL router which is of a modular design, wherein the independent modules are connected to one another via networks* 'í'bi::!.ÍOhli:^d§flíőh.:.dr the configuration of the modules may be different. i he invention comprises a home network modulo providing a connection to terminal devices in the local area network, in particular via the Ethernet standard (IEEE ihl>%Teh example iOOMb-r 3 0Gbit, etc,) and / ortho WLAN standard (icEE-803,11), The home network module has corresponding interfaces- Corresponding chip sets are integrated In the module. The home network: has theMmctionaiity to connect devices in the immediate ylpimfe A'further component is a broadband network modulo that la providing a connection to a broadband network of a telecommunication network provider, In particular vsa the DSL (digital subscriber hnen ADSL (asynchronous digital subscriber line). SOSt. (symmetric digital subscriber line) VDSL (Vary Hyh Speed Digital Subscriber Line) and / or the cable standard (broadband coax cable connection with cable connection). Optical cable Cpbneetions are also possible. The DSL standard is used to comitmnieafe between a DSL modem and a DSLAM, in order to provide a broadband Internet access via an internet accesrserviD iin generiiL Tiereln> IDSL Is negotiating or determining the connectldn parameters such as frequency and downstream-rate as well as upstream^ rate. Howeverpthe actual internet transmission rate depends on the Intethet access sérvén

The actual connection is established via any of the protocols of the higher layers of the OS! model. Ethernet or ATM Is used as safety layer., and IP Is common as a switching layer, Via such a connection, the internet access server of the provider (BRAS) enables internet access via authenticated connections (for example via PPPoE), Usually, the broadband network module has its own- modem or accesses an external modem A further element of the invention is a mobile network module providing a connection i$a a mobile network of a telecommunication network pr#V^irph=páftÉÉii? aecerdingTo the LTE (Long Term Evolution), UMTS (Universal Mobile Telacommpnlcaions System), GSM, GPRS, EDGE, WIMax standard. Herein, it should be noted that the Standards are network Standards which allow further distances than local networks-such .as WLAN, Bluetooth etc, Therefore, It ss a matter of mobile networks with a plurality of base stations between which a bandovercon fake place. Therefore, the mobile network module does not have; any overlaps with the borne network module. The mobile network module rather provides an access to the Internet for a home network, Just like the broadband network module. Therefore, these are alternative network modules which can be used alternately to obtain data from the Internal, or to send data to the internet.

Another module is a router module that routes data traffic from the home network via the mobile network or via the broadband network as based on rules. As a rule, routing is based on Levet 3 or Level 2 packets according to the OSI network model. The router moduleimayhave rules that route the data packets via the'broadband network module or the mobile network. module orsitha basis: of the workload, if a network s Overloaded Or has pour response times, the other network can be switched on (or added), A Round-

It should also be noted that the mobile network module and the broadband network module are spatiiilf sepiratedfylárraoged in are ednoaetadto

One another via a local network. Therefore, the modules constitute an independent unit that can be set up several meters apart. Therefore, it can be aedeved that the broadband network module Is arrah|ad: id thi baflar and the mobile network module is arranged Id an upper floor. Both modules are then internally connected by a local network. This network can also be a cable ditwOffc ofa^ wireless networks ibf the forwardidi of fie iditififr a terminal device in the network is ttineparent. The data could for ioaiarveeibi tunneled meaning that the data Is packaged f wrapped into other packets, Asa address translation can also be carried out, in which the sender address is replaced. Here, a numbe: of techniques are possible. The two modules may also have their own private:; network, e.g. on the basis of the IP protocol, in order to achieve this approach, the two modules have an additional. logical or physical network interface via which the connection ss established.

However, it should be rioted that the router module is designed such that the mobile network module and the broadband network module are represented as a logical unit for e terminal device in the home network. That. for the terminal device It Is not apparent over which network (broadband or mobile network) iHe data Is routed from the router.

For the terminal device, only a gateway is apparent which is usually addressed via a logical address that is commonly an IP address, if data are to be sent out of the network! in a prdferrÉdíimibdimeht, betiTbe mobile network: module and the brdadbandhhifwifk: module con be addressed va a single network address, and the router module forwards the data via the mobile network module and / or broadband network module to the corresponding network, such that the terminal device m the home network only addresses a single gateway, when data is to be sent from the home network to the internet As soon as the router receives the date fkom the terminal device,, the router checks the rules and then decides whether to transmit the data to the broadband Network mod use or to the mob he network module via the food network. the addressing IS dsulf^ prforrned using IF addroesos; tehdreirs the integrate bebdUS device can bo addressed % ars W: address as an IP gateway which is usually transmittecl via DHCP.

The local network can: he a Powertarg. an Ethernet, a WLAN and / or a Bluetooth,

In a further embodiment, the mobile network module and the broadband network module can have independent power supplies., and preferably can also provide Power over Ethernet or use it as a power supply.

Via Power over Ethernet., one module can provide power to the other via a cable that also transmits the data. It must be noted that the router module is arranged within the housing of the bfoadhand network module or module.

Ihe modem, possibly in coorperation with the baseband processor^ assumes the cetwarsfon of the data from the control unit to then transmit or receive said data via the mobile network- in a further embodiment, the mobile network module comprises optical display devices for displaying the field strength of the mobile network. By means of this indicator an alignment can be done to achieve an optimum reception. Furthermore, o display device for the field strength of the Internal WLAN network can be provided to ensure an optimál alignment in this case as well. Toe display can have bam os can be represented by pumpers or digits.

In a further embodiment, the mobile network module or the broadband network rood vie automatically registers via the local network at the router module. A registration may be based on addresses arid particularly on MAC addresses, or on the basis of passwords and / or certificates. During start-up and / or during operation, the devices scan the loess network to identify themselves using specific identifiers. This is followed by a registration that is based on an access protection, such as password, MAC address, certificates, etc. The access protection is further provided in such a way that the Individual modules can only be accessed via the router module orvvá the home network module. Therefore, there -exists a restriction of access on the basis of the address of the sender of packers. Therefore., a terminal device from the home network cannot directly access each module but only those representing the logical gateway, furthermore, the system composes a central access to an administration interface which c®hdse addressed vsa a specific IP address that add else be the gateway address. A, Web-snterface for the central configuration of the Individual modules is provided by a web server that, e.g., can be integrated into the home network module or in other modulus. The changes are then forwarded to the modules,
