Wireless voice calls gain encryption
Fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) start-up Agito Networks Monday plans to announce voice-over-Wi-Fi encryption and other features for its RoamAnywhere Mobility Router.
The RoamAnywhere router is customer-premises equipment (CPE) that extends PBX policy and dialing plans across Wi-Fi and cellular networks to smart phones running RoamAnywhere client software. It enables location-based, seamless roaming between both types of wireless networks so that sessions aren’t interrupted when mobile users cross wireless network borders.
A number of companies participate in this market with varying technical approaches. Among those that work with multiple vendors’ PBXs at the back end are Aruba, DiVitas, FirstHand and Siemens. Avaya and Nortel offer FMC capabilities with their own PBXs.
