A stationary communication device comprising an antenna

The application relates to a stationary communication device (1) comprising a housing (12) and an antenna (11) and a transceiver unit (Rx/Tx) operationally coupled to the antenna, the housing being adapted for assuming a specific orientation relative to the surface of the earth when placed in an operational state. The application further relates to a communication system. The object of the present application is to provide a stationary communication device (1) with an antenna (11) that facilitates wireless communication to a portable communication device (2). The problem is solved in that the antenna is vertically polarized. An advantage of the disclosure is that a stationary wireless communication device (1) with a small height can be implemented. The invention may e.g. be used for the hearing aids, headsets, ear phones, active ear protection systems, handsfree telephone systems, mobile telephones, and accessories to such devices.
