"The telephone is a fundamental business tool, but companies don't always make the most cost effective use of it," said Justin Phillips, product manager, TPT. "Making calls across a mix of wired and wireless infrastructure – which is commonplace in most office environments – produces unnecessarily high call charges. The addition of a router is a simple solution, making what would have been a ‘land line to mobile' call a ‘mobile to mobile' call."

The router can be easily installed without a major overhaul of the user's existing system and in bound calls can still be received in the traditional manner. Companies of any size can benefit by linking the routers together to give almost infinite capacity. The router's multi-SIM capabilities mean that it can handle SIM cards from all mobile operators in the UK at the same time.

The 2000 GSM Router can also store information and produce a network management report on call activity across the network, enabling companies to track peaks and troughs throughout the day. The router's ability to divert fixed line calls directly to a mobile makes it easier for staff working away from the office.

"The additional benefit of monitoring and management reports ensures companies can secure maximum savings," concluded Phillips.

TPT provides an important after care service by remotely monitoring the performance of the 2000 GSM Router ensuring that it functions to its optimum level leaving customers free to concentrate on their core business.
