PHOENIX-AG Communication Systems, a subsidiary of Lucent Technologies Inc., completed an agreement it signed in August 1997 with Rogers Cantel Inc. to jointly market wireless office telephone systems based on Time Division Multiple Access technology.
Marketed in Canada under the Cantel AT&T Wireless Office Service brand name, the service integrates wireless mobility with a company’s office telephone system.
AG Communication Systems said it will provide equipment for the WOS under its Roameo label, and also provide sales, installation and maintenance support for Cantel AT&T customers through Accord Communications Inc., a distributor for AG Communication Systems.
Roameo WOS enables a standard wireless phone to act as a cordless extension of a subscriber’s desk phone and use all its features, such as call waiting and call transfer. Calls made within the range of the system incur no per-minute airtime charges, said AG Communication Systems.
