Abstract
Changes in the business environment are transforming people´s mode of operation and work habits. Many corporate employees spend time away from their assigned wired phones but are still in their offices or other locations of the company. Companies are starting to be aware of the opportunities that mobility offers to increase productivity, provide better customer service, and lead to future cost savings. Thus, companies are increasingly adding mobility solutions to their existing networks and continuously integrate them as seamlessly as possible. The emerging answer is enterprise wireless telephony, which, unlike its public cellular counterpart, is free of air time charges. This article describes the enterprise wireless technologies. We briefly introduce the location system and then focus on communications services with solutions for single- and multilocation enterprise
