OnRelay’s mobile PBX will replace desk phones

The system enables business customers to utilise public mobile networks in place of expensive VoIP LAN infrastructure.

This will allow organisations to significantly reduce infrastructure investments and to free their staff to use a mobile phone as their universal fully functional business device. Further cost savings are also made through reductions in trunk lines, maintenance, upgrades and energy costs.

OnRelay believes its hosted MBX product is the first release of an architecture that is the future of office communications systems. Hosted MBX provides the best of all worlds with the full flexibility and functionality of a real PBX system, unrestricted global mobility, and complete outsourcing of hardware resources.

Businesses can literally deploy a fully functional and managed PBX system without adding any equipment at all to their LAN infrastructure.

Hosted MBX uses public wireless networks (3G, GSM, CDMA, EVDO) in place of expensive private corporate voice infrastructure. It allows for the use of existing number plans, needing little network integration and incorporates all the functionality and management features of a fixed phone system, even when a user is roaming internationally.

OnRelay, which has it headquarters in the UK, will open a US office in Washington, DC at the beginning of May.
