Not one for the home users among us, perhaps, but anyone looking to make a more significant investment in VoIP might be interested in Agito Networks’ RoamAnywhere Mobility Router. Consisting of a 1U server unit running Agito’s custom version of Linux 2.6, together with a software client compatible with Windows Mobile and Symbian phones and which can be installed over-the-air, the system allows calls to an individual’s single number to be routed either via a cellular or WiFi network depending on their location.
What that basically means is that when you’re on-site and in range of an open WiFi connection your calls are routed to you (and from you) via VoIP, saving money; when you step out of WiFi coverage, the cellular network is used instead. According to Agito two-thirds of all cellular calls are made while an employee is on company premises.
Two versions of the RoamAnywhere server are available: the 2000 Series supports up to 100 simultaneous connections and has a single-core Intel Xeon processor, while the 4000 Series supports up to 1,000 simultaneous connections, has a dual-core CPU and 250GB of redundant SATA storage. Both have dual gigabit ethernet ports, 9-pin serial and a USB port.
Available now, the 2000 Series starts at $10,000 while the 4000 Series climbs to $28,000.
