Save Money Through a Wireless Network

Do you know how to save money by using a wireless network? If you don't then let me tell you that you can route calls through the PBX phone system to a wireless network instead of expensive phone lines thereby reducing the cost of cell phone-to-office phone calls.

Businesses can now reduce reduce their telephone expenses by using Multi-Tech CallFinder CDMA wireless networks instead of normal PSTN (public switched telephone network) lines to connect cell phone callers to company offices. The cellular gateway makes all of these happen. Remote offices can also use this technology as a complete replacement for PSTN lines. Doing so will allow the office to use a desk telephone connected directly to the gateway.

This process is also possible for larger offices that use a PBX phone system. In this case, the cellular gateway connects to a PBX trunk line or PBX extension and routes incoming and outgoing calls through a CDMA wireless network. Then, the gateway connects a company’s PBX and CDMA networks. This allows calls between the two at no charge. Additionally, in the case of landline failure for normal calls and 911 calls it provides a reliable back up. Estimates project that by using cellular service through a CallFinder instead of PSTN lines, a business could save up to twenty percent on its telephone bills.

There is also very little configuration required to install the gateway except for a few AT-style commands issued through a serial port. A person who has PBX programming knowledge can set up the routing tables in the PBX. In fact, any companies on the IT department are now in charge of PBX. The CallFinder CDMA presently supports major wireless networks like Sprint and Alltel.
