Fixed and Mobile ConvergenceWhat is a Private Mobile Network?The Issues we AddressMobile phones are used by everyone in today's business world, but mobile phone calls remain expensive, and use of mobiles transfers the call ownership from the compaby to the individual. The Solution we ProvideThe Fixed & Mobile Convergence solution brings the mobile into the corporate network, this means that when you walk into your office building, you can use your mobile as an extension of your PBX - with traffic carried on the LAN/WAN internally, and through the PSTN externally - incurring no mobile call charges. The Benefits of This SolutionYou can save on mobile phone call costs by adding mobiles to the company's internal voice network. It provides cost-effective savings and enhances performance by automatically ensuring users communicate using the appropriate network and the appropriate device for maximum convenience and least cost to business. ConclusionThe Fixed & Mobile Convergence solution provides the ability to access voice services in a corporate building using mobile handsets as the extension of choice with landline costs. The price of mobilityBusinesses will agree that using the mobile phone as the device of choice for person-to-person communication has huge operational benefits. Historically, this scenario has been marred by the excessive and unpredictable costs of mobile phone calls associated with this way of working. Deployment of a Private Mobile eXchange (PMX) enables Companies to enjoy the best of both worlds; a dedicated, privately managed GSM network for use by employees within the office or remote office environment. The PMX solution provides business users with the ability to add existing mobile telephones to any corporate voice network, irrespective of PBX type. This enabling technology allows the company to effectively manage the costs associated with mobile phone calls on the corporate telecoms infrastructure. Calls and messages can be exchanged between on-site fixed and mobile users at no incremental cost to the business. As well as savings on fixed telephones and administration, a dedicated GSM network means that you always call at the most advantageous tariff. When in the office, calls are the same price as fixed telephony, putting an end to costly mobile conversations from the office which, on average, equate to over 25% of mobile spend. GSM coverage solutionPrivate Mobile Networks enable a Business to deploy mobile networks into remote regions or isolated user communities where network integration and infrastructure costs would otherwise be prohibitive. This is particularly suited to mining, shipping and tactical deployment situations. Enabling a standard mobile phone to be used in environments where there is limited or no coverage would normally render it useless. |
