WIRELESS INFRASTRUCTURE

In today’s flexible and fast-moving business environment, employees are never in one place for very long. Office workers need to roam freely throughout the building, teleworkers work most of their time from home and mobile workers can be just about anywhere: at the office, between appointments, on business travel or working from home. Enabling staff to be mobile provides numerous benefits. Productivity increases, customer service is enhanced and no opportunities are lost due to missed calls.

STL Kenya’s Business Mobility solutions are designed to meet the everyday needs of office workers, teleworkers and mobile workers. Besides person-to-person voice contact, the applications are predominantly web-based or voice-controlled and provide access to communications and data, including voicemail, email, directories and customer information.

Our Business Mobility solutions aimed at office workers begins with DECT at the workplace. This offers the mobility to move around the building or across multiple sites, while enjoying uninterrupted access to telephony, along with other features, such as voicemail and text messages. Open and safe Business Mobility is open by fully adhering to the DECT standard, including the GAP/CAP/E2 Open-Air interface. The international DECT standard ensures secure communications by means of very reliable encryption technology. All our DECT and IP DECT equipment (access points, handsets) make use of this encryption and can therefore be applied securely. When our DECT Access Points and handsets are used the communication is encrypted and cannot be listened in to.

Unlike GSM, with DECT there are no costs associated with internal calls. There is a wide choice of handsets, including industrial models for heavy duty environments. Crystal clear speech, seamless handover and a secure air interface are some of DECT’s characteristics, while additional services, such as location detection and short messaging are also available.

Business Mobility is fully integrated into our PBX platforms, which makes Business Mobility applications Scalable.

Configuration may start small and grow big (e.g. more than 10000 cordless users per iS3000 node). Feature rich. Wireless and wired phones are identical to the system. They can be mixed and matched in Chief/Secretary groups, Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) systems and Call Centres. High range handsets can function in all locations of the network. Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) functionality is fully available for wireless phones as it is for wired phones.
Today’s businesses want to offer employees a flexible way of working, while increasing customer service. They also want to extend the reach of the voice network but also save on branch office costs. They want to optimize the use of the converged network and offer feature transparency between the wired and wireless world. Without any compromise in voice quality, availability and security. With Business Mobility IP DECT and DECT you can do all of that.
  1. Add the power of DECT
  2. With Business Mobility IP DECT, a single converged network can facilitate both fixed and wireless telephony. IP DECT Access Points can easily be added to the LAN and can be complemented with Access Points in a remote location to form a multi-site configuration. Applications can be integrated as they are part of the same network infrastructure, such as messaging systems, corporate directory and presence. Business Mobility also consists of DECT Access Points in case a traditional TDM infrastructure fits better.
  3. The new AP400 series IP DECT
  4. With the new AP400 series IP DECT solution, STL Kenya significantly enhances its IP DECT portfolio with new Access Points and new software that meets the increasing mobility challenges of coming years. The very compact AP300 Access Point combines a broad range of functionality and application support with an attractive compact exterior housing to make it smaller and more versatile to install. AP300 is fully compatible with existing AP200 series Access Points and can easily be integrated in existing installations.
  5. Open architecture
  6. To protect investment and to stay competitive, Business Mobility IP DECT is based upon open standards. It is the first DECT system based on the SIP standard, and it follows the worldwide DECT GAP standard. This means compatibility with a wide range of SIP host systems as well as handsets. IP DECT also provides an open interface for text- and alarm messaging which guarantees connectivity to a variety of specific messaging systems in the market.
  7. Multi-site Mobility
  8. Wireless telephony in a multi-site company or large campus environment is a matter of installing IP DECT Access Points at remote locations, with no need for additional remote equipment. These remote locations become an integral part of your centralized mobile voice communication infrastructure.
  9. Accurate Real-time Location Tracking
  10. Many organizations need to locate people and assets for staff safety and alarming scenario’s. Our IP DECT offers multi-Access Point based location technology to accurately locate IP DECT handsets. This can be combined with applications such as Ekahau RTLS to accurately locate and track those handsets and to combine with other asset tracking devices.
With WLAN emerging in private homes, public areas and enterprises, this technology has great potential for mobile employees. Most organisations make use of their own Local Area Network, but increasingly, a Wireless LAN (WLAN) is added to complement the infrastructure with:
  1. Wireless connectivity across the organization
  2. Wireless Internet guest access that does not compromise security
  3. Data access during conference calls or meetings by using laptops with Wi-Fi
  4. Access for PDA’s, Blackberry’s, tablets, etc.
  5. Cost effective Internet access for new and existing locations
  6. Tracking of movable or expensive assets
  7. Alternative for IP DECT
  8. A WLAN can also be used for Voice over WLAN (VoWLAN). If this is well prepared in terms of coverage and capacity, it can offer wireless voice and data communications throughout the entire organisation, thus providing an effective alternative for DECT and IP DECT.
  9. Combining voice, data and multimedia
  10. Our Business Mobility WLAN solution provides organisations with comprehensive converged wireless communications combining voice, data and real-time multimedia applications with mission-critical business applications. Our portfolio comprises all key components, such as wireless controllers, access points, network management software, wireless devices and applications.
