Teleconferencing system comprising Master Communication Device for mixing audio and connecting to neighbouring devices

According to an aspect of the invention a teleconferencing system is conceived, which teleconferencing system comprises a master communication device and a plurality of satellite communication devices, wherein the master communication device is arranged to communicate with a far-end communication device through a global communication channel and to communicate with the plurality of satellite communication devices through a plurality of local communication channels, wherein the master communication device is further arranged to act as a portal between the far-end communication device and the satellite communication devices by forwarding voice communications received from the far-end communication device to the satellite communication devices through the local communication channels, and by mixing voice communications received from the satellite communication devices into a unified voice signal and sending said unified voice signal to the far-end communication device through the global communication channel.
