Burlingame, CA
February 28, 2000
teleSys
Software, Inc., a provider of Next-Generation Intelligent
Network (IN) software for telecommunications applications,
today announced it has been selected by AG Communication
Systems, a subsidiary of Lucent Technologies, to provide
the MACH7-IP Gateway. The product supports in-building
and on-campus Wireless Office Service (WOS) systems.
AG Communication Systems will utilize the gateway
in conjunction with its ROAMEO Wireless Office Phone
system.
ROAMEO
is an adjunct to existing PBX, Centrex or key office
phone systems that allows a standard cellular/PCS
phone to act as a wireless extension of subscribers'
desk phones. The system allows users to make and receive
calls and utilize all the features of their office
phones (such as call transfer and forwarding, 4- or
5-digit dialing, and three-way calling) with a wireless
phone anywhere in a building or campus environment.
Calls within range of the system incur no per-minute
airtime charges. Subscribers can use the same handset
in the external wireless environment, giving them
"one-number-reaches-you-anywhere" convenience.
The
MACH7-IP Gateway is designed to work in conjunction
with existing telephone communications sytems (e.g.,
PBX), as well as support all WOS controllers currently
available from majoy network equipment providers.
The gateway provides the means to transport IS-41
and GSM messages via TCP/IP from multiple Wireless
Office System Controllers (WOSC) to the Wireless Intelligent
Networks (WIN). MACH7-IP Gateway moves the power of
Signaling System #7 (SS7) to a TCP/IP based client/server
environment, allowing unlimited worldwide separation
of wireless office controllers. This architecture
provides affordable and secure SS7 connectivity for
the wireless service providers.
The
MACH7-IP Gateway will provide continuous availability
to the user. teleSys Software will provide upgrades,
24X7 support, consulting, installation, and training
services from their home office in Burlingame, California.
Chuck
Hellquist, Vice President of wireless products for
AG Communication Systems, cited signifcant benefits
for ROAMEO by using the MACH7-IP Gateway. "The
MACH7-IP Gateway provides standards for the marketplace
that reduce cost of operataions and increase the number
of user services and overallusers." he said.
"For ROAMEO, it seamlessly and flawlessly provides
the connection between our subscribers and the outside
wirless network. We are pleased to partner with teleSys
in this capacity."
"MACH7-IP
Gateway constitutes as integral part of second-generation
wireless office services like ROAMEO," said Arlington
Glaze, COO of teleSys. "The service allows customers
to use their internal 4-digit PBX dialing plan on
their wireless phones and allows them to receive calls
originally made to their PBX phones. These features
are available whether the user is in-building, on-campus
or roaming away from these areas nationally."
