San Francisco, Ca. – Joining other vendors looking to blur or eliminate the difference between local and wide area networking, Siemens Communications has developed a mobile handset architecture that combines Session Initiation Protocol-based, dual-mode Wi-Fi and GSM calling into the same unit.

The Siemens HiPath Mobile Connect works by combining fixed enterprise VoIP, voice over wireless LAN and cellular mobility on a single mobile device allowing a user to roam across Wi-Fi and cellular networks without dropping calls and with all PBX features intact. A single phone number and voicemail box works across all networks.

The new system depends of two elements: an application located between an enterprise's IP PBX and wireless LAN managing connectivity, and a dual-mode handset client that provides access to the IP PBX features.
