EnterpriseMobility enables a dual-mode handset to act as both a mobile and wireless office extension, switching between each function automatically depending on the location of the user.</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Temporale-20040719-NorwoodSystemsLogo.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />Basically, when you are in the office, their solution enables your GSM phone to work like any other office phone. All calls to and from your mobile phone would connect using the local PBX system and not your carriers network. What technology are they using to enable all this, you ask? Bluetooth, because it currently contains Quality of Service standards for voice traffic, but they are open to using WiFi in the future. Robert from Smart Mobile Assets had a chance to interview the President of Norwood Systems, Paul Ostergaard, about their EnterpriseMobility technology. It's a pretty interesting read.
