[Asterisk-biz] Motorola CN620: WiFi / SIP / GSM

[E s c a u x - Jordi Nelissen]

Hi,

Motorola is working in conjunction with Avaya and Proxim on a Wifi/SIP/GSM
phone. (see http://www.motorola.com/wlan/solution_cn620.html). They claim it
will support seamless roaming between your WLAN network and the GSM network
(provided you purchase a extra Wireless Services Manager box). 

Does anyone have more background information ?

1. Is there a remote chance the Wireless Services Manager would
inter-operate with asterisk ?
2. Can the Motorola CN620 be used as a standalone device without the
Wireless Services Manager ?

PS: at the end of this mail, you'ill find some information from the Motorola
FAQ.

Regards,

Jordi

FAQ

Motorola’s products include the CN620 Mobile Office Device (MOD), the
Wireless Services
Manager, and the Component Services Manager.

1° The CN620 Mobile Office Device (MOD) ties together Wireless Local Area
Networking (WLAN)
and cellular technologies in a single device for easier, more efficient,
access to voice and data
networks both inside and outside the office. Users can be reached inside or
outside the enterprise
at a single phone number, and retrieve messages from a single voice mailbox.
Inside the
enterprise, the solution will support secure “always on” wireless mobile
access to valuable IP
telephony features and capabilities provided by the IP-PBX. The solution
also provides many of
these key features to mobile workers outside the enterprise while on the
cellular network,
including call hold, conference calling, multiple call appearances, and
access to corporate email,
data, applications and directories.

2° Motorola’s Wireless Services Manager (WSM) enables key functionality of
the Enterprise
Seamless Mobility solution by facilitating the seamless hand-off between
networks. It also
enables the extension of enterprise IP-PBX telephony functions onto the
cellular network, as well
as access to enterprise data applications, and push-to-talk instant voice
messaging within the
enterprise. Solution security is provided by the Wireless Services Manager
with mechanisms that
securely validate network elements, devices and users.

3° Motorola’s Component Services Manager provides system administration
tools to securely
configure and manage the Enterprise Seamless Mobility solution. It is
designed to provide simple
integration into existing network management systems.
Each of these products is part of an overall solution architecture that
includes IP Telephony
provided by Avaya, and voice-enabled WLAN infrastructure from Proxim.
