Mobile Integration

Mobility is crushing cellular phone bills for businesses around the world!

The concept is a simple one. Smartphones can operate in two modes: Wi-Fi and cellular. In cellular mode, the phone relies on your carrier’s network to place and receive calls. In Wi-Fi mode, the phone can leverage a wireless data network for those calls. By switching to Wi-Fi, callers can lower the number of expensive cellular minutes used. Even better, then can enjoy better call quality and improved battery life.

 How it works:

ShoreTel Mobility solution relies on a gateway called the ShoreTel Mobility Router that automatically selects the best network, whether Wi-Fi or cellular, for each call. It allows you to create policies to determine how calls should be routed, or it can be set to choose the least-costly option.

When users are traveling away from the office, the Mobility Router still helps costs. With the industry’s first TLS/SSL-based connection, it allows users to jump on any public Wi-Fi connection or a private connection for which they have a WEP key. That means leveraging VoIP for Wi-Fi calling from home, hotels, offices and hotspots. International roaming charges are slashed.

With a one-time investment in the ShoreTel Mobility Router, companies can create 80 percent cellular call savings, plus give their workforce better call quality, reliability and battery life. But the benefits don’t stop there:

• Office in a pocket with better call quality and reliability.
• Users are no longer tied to a desk. They can start a conversation on their desk phone and transfer it to their mobility while still on the corporate pbx.
• From anywhere in the world, users can dial their coworkers using the office’s three- or four-digit extensions.
• Team members and partners can see users’ presence and availability.
• Visual voice mail.

From serious savings to better productivity, ShoreTel Mobility pays for itself while improving the quality of your team members’ work life.
