Since so many folks were interested in VOIP and dual mode phones at the last open source pizza meeting....I thought I'd forward this tidbit from Motorola who has a line of dual mode phones with a home router to handle it.
Keep in mind that you MUST MUST MUST have a backend PBX that can handle the switch off's....Avaya has one, but asterisk doesn't on the open source side....on the commercial side there will be one fairly soon that is an asterisks gateway. /brian chee University of Hawai'i at Manoa School of Ocean & Earth Science & Technology Advanced Network Computing Lab 2525 Correa Road, HIG 500 Honolulu, HI 96822 808-956-5797 voice, 877-284-1934 fax ----- Original Message ----- From: Maureen Pinchock To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 27, 2006 9:37 AM Subject: Dual Mode Handsets, VoIP and the Home Hello! After the 3GSM World Conference in Barcelona one of the big take-aways was the unveiling of a dual mode cellular handsets. The evolution of the phone is about to take its next big leap, allowing To complement the Motorola A910 dual mode handset, the Connected Home Solutions business division of Motorola had also planned for offering devices that make the jump from a cellular to a VoIP network seamless as well as consumer friendly. The two products I have described below are just the beginning of Motorola's vision of seamless mobility and keeping you connected wherever you are. I would be more than happy to set up an interview with a senior product manager from Motorola to speak with you about these emerging technologies. Motorola has shipped over 2 million voice-enabled cable modems to date o C51 Cordless Phone System: includes a VoIP phone adapter so users can seamlessly use their VoIP service through their cordless phone system or switch to a land line or cellular network call. o RSG (Motorola Seamless Mobility Gateway): includes a full featured wireless home router and built-in VoIP adapter. Allows the RSG to run a home network, power standard telephones, and act as a hot spot for the mobile phone.
