I've noticed a growing number of stores using FRS radios. It would make sense to interface (via soundcard/console driver, with the nessacary electrical conversion) a VOX FRS radio to asterisk to allow someone in the office to page/talk with people on the floor or warehouse. You could throw that call (ie, all the radios) into a meetme conference. Then, you could have people in the office either dial that extension and/or have some of them always in that conference on a speaker phone (muted usually).
While I haven't tried this (yet!), it does seem like it would be a useful feature. The restriction against PSTN interconnection would be met UNLESS your dialplan allowed outside (PSTN) callers into that conference. You /could/ allow remote softphone users into the conference.
cheers, glenn
