In the case of cordless phones, a wireless handset communicates via radio
waves with a base station connected to a telephone landline, usually within a
limited range of its base station (which has the handset cradle). In this case,
the base station is on the subscriber’s premises, and is attached to the
telephone network the same way a corded telephone is.
