does not say that the data is specific to only that one terminal
and, so, does not preclude more than one terminal having the same
data. We find the limitation is met as long as there are
terminals that contain data specific to those terminals and not

data, but this is not the case here.
Chavez is directed to a wireless telecommunications system
providing shared service for a number of distinct user groups
(col. 1, lines 4-7). A number of tenants 117-123 occupy space
within a common building, such as an office building or airport,
and each tenant has one or more base stations 102-116
interconnected to wireless switching system 101. Each base
station of a tenant group is dedicated to serving wireless
terminals designated by the tenant. Each wireless terminal must
register with a base station to be able to connect. A tenant 121
having base stations 102 and 103 may make its base station
available to not only its own tenant wireless terminals but to
all wireless terminals authorized to connect to the wireless
switching system 101. Thus, a wireless terminal 124 associated
with base stations 112 and 113 of tenant 118 can register base
stations 112 and 113 and base stations 102 and 103. Similarly, a
wireless terminal 126 associated with base stations 114 and 116
of tenant 119 can register base stations 114 and 116 and base
