Nokia Call Connector

What if a single device could serve both as a desktop phone and a mobile phone? As optimistic as this sounds, it is now a reality, as Nokia and Cisco have joined together to drive business productivity and profitability with powerful, new solutions that are changing all the rules of corporate telephony. Working together, Nokia and Cisco are able to offer comprehensive solutions, such as dual-mode business devices, firewall security, unified wireless and wired networking.

Some of the key features of the Nokia Call Connector from Cisco include

  • The ability to continue an active call while moving from corporate WLAN to cellular coverage. This will help reduce the number of missed calls and improve productivity.
  • The ability to use a single device. With Nokia Intellisync Call Connect for Cisco, the mobile phone becomes a mobile desk-phone that enables users to leverage mobile freedom with advanced features traditionally only available on high-end desk-phones such as; abbreviated extension dialling, call transfer, hold, conference calling, call park, etc.
  • Automatic routing of business calls to Nokia E-series devices to reduce the incidence of missed calls and help customers reach your staff faster and more easily. Additionally, employees can route cellular calls to their business voice mail when this feature is supported by the operator.
  • The ability to reduce mobile service fees and improve control over telecommunications costs by allowing employees to utilise private WLAN networks instead of cellular networks in the corporate office, at a satellite office, and/or home office, via mobile VPN.
  • Least cost routing that supports free internal calls when onsite and calling abroad, without roaming fees, when registered with the Cisco Unified Communications Manager over the WLAN.
  • Improved in-building coverage and availability, provided by routing telephony services through the WLAN, when the mobile network is unavailable or service is unreliable.
  • The ability to comply with applicable regulations, by leveraging the corporate voice infrastructure for the recording of calls on a mobile device.

Nokia Call Connect for Cisco enables Nokia E-series dual-mode handsets to work on cellular Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and Cisco Unified Wireless Networks with access to the advanced features provided by Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express.

A user with a Nokia E-series mobile handset can join the corporate 802.11a/b/g network and connect to a Cisco Communications Manager infrastructure. Once connected, it is possible to route calls to the user's mobile phone based on their extension number, and the user can make use of the company's telephony environment as opposed to a more expensive GSM or cellular network.

  • Lower total cost of ownership and reduce complexity through device consolidation
  • Reduce mobile phone charges by using corporate network and communications investments for mobile routing
