Ericsson creates the mobile extension of the MD110
"This is a significant step in integrating mobile users into the corporate network," says Thomas Näsström, Ericsson Enterprise's Vice President, Medium and Large Communication Systems. "It will lead to more efficient and flexible working for business users and switchboard operators, and at the same time it will give company customers a better service."
Using this extension, mobile business users can organize all calls to their mobile number, they can arrange call back on busy extensions and they can make conference calls. A new feature, the Call Originator Indication, gives the mobile the possibility to see the caller's number displayed on their screen. This gives the mobile user the ability to re- dial if a call has been missed or rejected. The mobile users will get more effective support from the switchboard operators.
With the mobile extension, the operator can put the caller 'on hold' and switch the call through when the mobile user becomes free. The operator will receive a 30-second reminder if the call has not gone through, same as for other office extensions. A further advantage for enterprises is that the mobile extension operates independently from public network operators. This means no operator dependency.
Security is built into the mobile extension so that no one can abuse the system. In addition to the existing system security, the MD110 will automatically recognize the mobile user and the pin code. If someone else tries to use the phone to access the enterprise network, his or her entry will be denied. The mobile extension is not only a tool providing flexibility, efficiency and value for money but it also represents a further development toward migrating enterprises into the next generation.
