Delivering a Return on Investment (ROI)

  • Choose to use the mobile phone as the single device of choice in the business while delivering business features normally associated with an IP PBX
  • Provide users with the application benefits of the intelligent Office and intelligent Application Builder products on the mobile phone
  • Cost savings on mobile calls made in the coverage area

Fixed Mobile Convergence Solutions with a Private Mobile Network

Private Mobile Networks (PMN) provide Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) solutions to established businesses. The solution is most cost efficient when the business has a high mobile phone usage, in building or in a defined campus area, and would benefit from cost saving for calls between users onsite or across the corporate VPN.

For a new start-up or small business, a private mobile network can provide a solution for telephony application deployment on mobile phones as an alternative to deploying a PBX.

PMN can also provide coverage solutions for businesses or service providers with coverage issues due to location, interference to phone signals or with time to deployment issues for fixed telephony.

What is the Cost to the Business?

The Private Mobile Networks FMC and Office GSM applications are available as hosted or managed services on a monthly fee basis. Hosted services are sold as Private Mobile Extensions on a per user basis, plus the cost of the mobile access point(s). On-premise solutions and the Rapid Deployment Unit are provided at a cost per unit, plus an Annual User Licence.

Using the mobile phone to provide in-office mobility as an alternative to Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) or Private Mobile Radio (PMR) systems.

This means that users can enjoy the benefits of making and receiving voice calls whilst away from their desks yet only be subject to the charges incurred by a standard PBX extension.
