Help, please. I'm a fish out of water.

A close friend was speaking with a local ATT service provider who was predicting that within two to three years her home telephone service would be wireless "with just a box attached to the outside of your house." He said the wires in the home would be essentially useless.

Neither my friend nor I knows what he means. (I still can't understand last month's regular phone bill much less foresee next year's technology). As a pure guess could it be something I've seen referred to as a "wireless station?" Or something else? In any event, despite knowing my vast ignorance of the subject my friend wanted me to try to identify companies making the sort of equipment or boxes this guy was referring to.

Hoping to avoid the blind-leading-the-blind, can anyone help? Would I be looking for companies like NOK and ERICY and MOT, who make cell phones themselves? Or antenna companies like CAMP and others who make wireless transmission devices? Or something entirely different? If something else, what search words or industry names would be helpful? "Wireless equipment" or "wireless transmission" seems a tad over broad.

Sorry if this question is too stupid for words, but to borrow from O.W. Holmes, what I seem to need is an 'explanation of the obvious not elucidation of the obscure.' Thanks in advance.
