Motorola, Avaya and Proxim to Collaborate on Converged Wireless LANs

Motorola, Avaya and Proxim will collaborate on the creation and deployment of converged cellular, WLAN, and IP telephony solutions. New products will include a Wi-Fi/cellular dual-system phone from Motorola, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)-enabled IP Telephony software from Avaya, and voice enabled WLAN infrastructure from Proxim. Motorola said that by tying together wireless LANs, IP Telephony, and cellular technologies in a single handset, the companies will extend the mobility of cellular networks inside the enterprise. Avaya will provide its IP telephony system, Motorola will provide software to control the hand-off between local (WLAN) and cellular networks; and Proxim will provide voice-enabled Wi-Fi WLAN infrastructure, quality of service software, and centralized management systems to facilitate hand-offs between access points.
