Mobility is often a high priority for telephony solutions, even when in-building. Providing voice and messaging services whilst staff are on the move ensures efficient communication and immediate access to information.
Providing voice and messaging services whilst staff are on the move
Most existing installations for in-building mobile users have relied on Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) to achieve this. Coverage, reliability and the cost of handsets have been the main issues experienced with these solutions.
The mobile handset has established itself as the device of choice with business users and DECT handsets offer neither the functionality nor the style of a mobile phone while having less battery life and being less durable that many of the mobile handsets available on the market today.
How the PMN small office solution works
With Private Mobile Networks, the mobile handset can replace three alternative devices – the DECT handset, the WiFi handset and the PMR handset - plus the field desk phone. This means that users can enjoy the benefits of making and receiving voice calls whilst away from their desks and only be subject to the charges incurred by a standard PBX extension within the business. In addition, text messages do not incur charges within the office environment and will provide businesses with a competitive edge through encouraging mobility and effective communications within the workplace.
