Overview of Fixed Cellular Technology

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

How do FCTs work? Network Provider Mobile Phone Office Telephone Average of 12p per minute *Typical examples only. Subject to fixed line and mobile operators tariffs

How do FCTs work? Network Provider Mobile Phone Office Telephone Average of 9p per minute *Typical examples only. Subject to fixed line and mobile operators tariffs FCT 4.5p per minute*

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.
