1. An inspection system for inspection or cleaning of pipes, the inspection system comprising: an inspection or cleaning means;a control means;a first transmission/receiver means assigned to the control means; anda second transmission/receiver means assigned to the inspection or cleaning means for wireless transmission of control or measurement data between the inspection or cleaning means and the control means;wherein a hose connects the inspection or cleaning means to the control means, wherein the hose comprises a rinsing hose having first and second rinsing hose sections, and wherein the inspection or cleaning means comprises a rinsing nozzle;wherein the rinsing nozzle comprises a camera coupled to the second transmission/receiver means operatively, and wherein images taken by the camera are transmittable to the first transmission/receiver means via the second transmission/receiver means wirelessly or wherein control commands intended for the camera or the rinsing nozzle are transmittable wirelessly via the first transmission/receiver means to the second transmission/receiver means; andfurther comprising at least one repeater having an axial duct, by means of which the first rinsing hose section is connectable to the second rinsing hose section, wherein for connecting the first rinsing hose section and the second rinsing hose section to the repeater, hose couplings are provided, and wherein a diameter of the axial duct is substantially as large as an inner diameter of the first rinsing hose section and the second rinsing hose section. 2. The inspection system according to claim 1, the at least one repeater further comprising an antenna system or at least one antenna, which is arranged operatively between the first transmission/receiver means and the second transmission/receiver means and being adapted to increase an operation range of a wireless communication connection established between the first transmission/receiver means and the second transmission/receiver means, wherein the wireless communication connection comprises a WLAN communication connection. 3. The inspection system according to claim 1, wherein the inspection or cleaning means can be coupled or connected to the control means via the hose , a rope, or a cable, and wherein the at least one repeater can be connected to the hose , at the rope, or at the cable. 4. The inspection system according to claim 3, wherein in addition to the hose, the rope, or the cable, an additional hose, an additional rope, or an additional cable is provided, which is insertable into the pipes, wherein at the additional hose, at the additional rope, or at the additional cable, the at least one repeater can be connected releasably. 5. The inspection system according to claim 3, wherein the first and second rinsing hose sections are separated from each other, wherein the at least one repeater (50) is arranged between the first and second rinsing hose sections and connects the first and second rinsing hose sections to each other. 6. The inspection system according to claim 1, wherein the repeater comprises a device for converting kinetic energy of rinsing water into electrical energy, wherein the device comprises at least one hydraulic turbine and at least one generator, wherein the at least one hydraulic turbine is arranged within the axial duct at least partially. 7. The inspection system according to claim 6, wherein the repeater comprises an accumulator, which is coupled to the at least one generator, and wherein the accumulator or the at least one generator supplies the repeater with electrical energy. 8. The inspection system according to claim 1, wherein the at least one repeater is integrated into a liner of the hose, or wherein the at least one repeater is arranged at a hose inner wall of the hose, and is surrounded by a watertight liner. 9. The inspection system according to claim 2, wherein an antenna of the at least one repeater is led to the outside at least partially through a liner of the hose, or wherein an antenna of the at least one repeater is formed by a material suitable for an antenna arranged at an outer wall of the hose. 10. The inspection system according to claim 1, wherein the at least one repeater further comprises fixing means, by means of which the at least one repeater is releasably connectable at the hose, in particular, the rinsing hose, at a cable, or at a rope. 11. The inspection system according to claim 1, wherein the at least one repeater is adapted to automatically increase or automatically decrease its transmission power. 12. A transmission/receiver means configured to: wirelessly transmit control or measurement data to an inspection or cleaning means assigned to the transmission/receiver means and a control means of the inspection system of claim 1; and establish a wireless communication connection to a further transmission/receiver means assigned to the control means. 13. The transmission/receiver means according to claim 12, wherein the transmission/receiver means is further configured to establish a wireless communication connection to a repeater arranged between the transmission/receiver means and the further transmission/receiver means. 14. An inspection or cleaning device, comprising a transmission/receiver means according to claim 12;an inspection or cleaning means which can be coupled to the transmission/receiver means; andat least one selected from the group consisting of a cleaning nozzle, an inspection camera, an inspection vehicle or cart, and combinations thereof.
