mobile telephone unit is cellular, it has a transceiver to

the first receiver as claimed. The wireless telephone unit

units which are intended for wireless operation" (col. 3,
line 66, to col. 4, line 1). It would have been obvious to

mobile telephone unit as taught in Duffy to obtain the
wireless advantages of Duffy (e.g., col. 1, lines 6-21), and
because Duffy states that any commercially available telephone
unit can be used (col. 3, line 66, to col. 4, line 1) (which

and because Gillig teaches that the cellular cordless
