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. How do FCTs work? Network Provider Office Telephone Average of 12p per minute Mobile Phone *Typical examples only. Subject to fixed line and mobile operators’ tariffs How do FCTs work? Network Provider Average of 12p per minute Mobile Phone 6.25p per minute* FCT Office Telephone *Typical examples only. Subject to fixed line and mobile operators’ tariffs The Portfolio Analogue BRI ISDN2e Multi-port Analogue FCT The Portfolio, Continued BlueTower PRI ISDN30e BlueStar PRI ISDN30e VoiceBlue StarGate PRI ISDN30e (IP version available) Voice-over-Internet-Protocol (VoIP) 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. The Benefits of Dial-thru PBX PSTN The Benefits of Dial-thru 2N FCT PBX All calls to Mobiles GSM All calls to Landline PSTN • No dedicated ports on the PBX required • Often no PBX programming required as routing carried out by FCT The Benefits of Dial-thru PBX 2N FCT All calls automatically route via GSM GSM PSTN • No dedicated ports on the PBX required • Often no PBX programming required as routing carried out by FCT • Disaster Recovery solution (PRI) on PSTN Failure EasyGate - Analogue “Dedicated” Connects to a dedicated analogue trunk port on PABX Takes 1 SIM Card so enables 1 call Basic entry level product particularly sold to very small companies who want cheap unmanaged solution SmartGate - Analogue “Pass Thru” Can sit “pass thru” on an analogue line before it reaches the PBX Can connect to dedicated FXO or FXS port Takes 1 SIM Card so enables 1 call Sold to small companies who use up to 1200 mins landline to mobile a month Multi-port Analogue Omikron - Analogue Up to 8 Lines Monitored Up to 8 Ports (concurrent calls) Up to 8 SIMS Dial-thru feature SIM Management BRI FCT ISDN2 ‘T’ or ‘S’ Bus Up to 2 Ports (Concurrent calls) Up to 2 SIMS Dial Thru Feature SIM Management VoIP (SIP) VoiceBlue Lite (SIP) VoiceBlue Enterprise (SIP / H.323) 2 or 4 Ports (simultaneous calls) 2 or 4 SIMS SIM Management SMS Capability on Voice Blue Enterprise Sits as a static IP Address on the LAN BlueTower Entry-level PRI (ISDN30e) FCT Modular from 2 – 8 Ports Up to 32 SIMS Up to approx 14,000 mins a month SIM Management LAN Connectivity Lite version available (Max 2 Ports) Disaster recovery function Automatic Network SIM update BlueStar Modular up to 16 Ports Up to 64 SIMS Up to Approx 60,000 mins a month SIM Management LAN Connectivity Rack mountable Disaster recovery function Automatic Network SIM update StarGate Modular up to 32 Ports Up to 256 SIMS Up to Approx 250,000 mins a month SIM Management LAN Connectivity Rack mountable IP Version available Disaster recovery function Automatic Network SIM update Recommended Minutes per month : Ports Up to 4,000 mins 4,000 - 6,000 mins 6,000 - 9,000 mins 9,000 - 14,000 mins 14,000 - 20,000 mins 20,000 - 30,000 mins 30,000 - 45,000 mins 45,000 - 60,000 mins : : : : : : : : 2 ports 4 ports 6 ports 8 ports 10 ports 12 ports 14 ports 16 ports 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.
