Overview
of
Fixed Cellular Technology
Fixed Cellular Terminals
(FCTs)
Also known as GSM Gateways or “Premicells”
What do they do?
FCT’s route Landline to Mobile calls via the GSM
Network to enable users to benefit from cheaper calling.

Some of the features available on 2N FCTs
Pass Thru –
We can install on to Analogue, ISDN2 and ISDN30 lines as a
“Pass thru” device. No PBX programming or capacity required.
Interim Disaster Recovery –
We can offer resilience by enabling a secondary route out for landline
to landline calls in case of PSTN / ISDN / ADSL failure
SIM Management –
This enables us to stop using SIMS to route calls when the bundled
minutes have been used up – No expensive, out of bundle, X-Net minutes
to worry about.
Automatic Network SIM update –
When Mobile Network Operators send SMS updates to their SIMS they
often require a SIM reset or even take the SIM offline rendering it useless until
rebooted. 2N PRI devices are Network SIM update compatible.

3 Core questions
The type of FCT to be supplied can be determined
by the following information…
Type of connectivity (ISDN2, ISDN30 etc)
Volume of current landline to GSM traffic
existing expenditure from landline to mobile
(this enables us to present an ROI)
Signal Strength site survey available on request.
