XO Preps FMC Service

XO Communications and Sotto Wireless will begin trials of a fixed mobile convergence solution in Seattle. The Unwired Office integrates customers’ fixed and wireless communications services into a single platform with one smart phone that can be used in the office or on the go for voice, email and Internet access as well optional IP desk phones.

The Unwired Office includes a business phone system, broadband network access and mobile phone service. Features include a high-speed dedicated Internet access; hosted private branch exchange system; individual smart phones with one telephone number for office and mobile calling, wireless email and messaging; optional IP desk phones; and anywhere coverage through in-office Wi-Fi networks and wireless service. In addition, the service enables businesses to transparently extend the office phone system to the home or branch office by using existing cable or digital subscriber line broadband services.

The service uses dual-mode smart phones from Nokia, such as the Nokia E61i, that feature both office Wi-Fi and cellular network connectivity options, full keyboards, and productivity applications. The hybrid wireless capabilities allow employees to use the Nokia smart phones to make calls over Wi-Fi networks and use cellular networks when employees are away from the office.
