Private Mobile Office enables the creation of an office GSM network without connections to the outside world. This is effectively an ‘island’ environment. This creates an effective communication system for calls between staff within an area not served by existing corporate communications services or where a private and secure network is required.

DECT phones represent one possible solution to requirements for remote islands of communication. They are effectively radio transceivers operating from a series of base stations. In an ‘island’ network scenario, users with DECT handsets can communicate with one another but, even with their recent digital versions offering improvements in speech quality, longer talk times and greater operating ranges than their analogue predecessors, these do not offer the coverage and quality of a Private Mobile Office solution.
Whilst DECT has its advantages, it also has a number of serious drawbacks for customers looking to communicate effectively within an ‘island’. Key amongst these are the cost and quality of requisite handsets and concerns over effective coverage.
Private Mobile Office technology addresses these potential pitfalls with a wireless office solution suitable for ‘island’ operation, which makes use of standard GSM mobile handsets and facilitates effective, mobile communication.
In today’s complex communication landscape, the success of any device is determined by user acceptance rather than technological provision. In this regard, the mobile handset stands head and shoulders above its contemporaries. It seems logical, therefore, to conclude that it is primarily the ‘Mobile’ aspect of the Private Mobile Office - its utilisation of standard and familiar cellular handsets – that represents its most compelling advantage over DECT solutions, particularly in an ‘island’ scenario.
The size of customer organisation is, to some degree, irrelevant because the ‘island’ scenario could be a small stand-alone company or a remote 100-user cell of a huge multinational.
