The Proposition
The Private Mobile Extension (PME) is delivered as a hosted service over an IP network (e.g. DSL or MPLS) using the Private Mobile Access Point provided to create a local and private mobile network. This means that you can use mobile phones for calls within the office, warehouse or campus at landline costs. Further access points can be added as necessary to ensure guaranteed mobile coverage with all the features usually associated with fixed line phones available on your mobiles.
Why have a Private Mobile Extension
PME avoids the need to purchase a telephone switch (PBX) and related handsets in order to deploy a business telephony solution. This unique solution delivers the mobility and flexibility advantages of the mobile phone, combined with the cost and application advantages of a hosted VoIP solution. By using the same mobile technology standards as the mobile operators, voice quality is high and support for SMS and GPRS are available.
PME can be enhanced with a number of powerful telephony applications to extend support for flexible working through intelligent call routing, cost effective conferencing and call recording. PME users can take advantage of additional applications for call management, such as Auto Attendant, IVR and Contact Centre solutions.
Creating the local Private Mobile Network
A PMN Access Point, installed at your local site, provides coverage for your mobile phone in the local area and enables no-cost calls between mobiles on-site and calls out are made using an IP network connection. Multiple Access Point units can be deployed as necessary to ensure full coverage of the site. Outside of this coverage area, calls are made via your usual Mobile Network Operator.
