Motorola is soon to demo handsets that can hand off between WiFi and cellular networks. The solution, TEAM (Total Enteprise Access and Mobility) will also support PTT capability.
TEAM devices will not be limited to just cell phoes, however it’s expected that the first batch of hardware will be mobile devices, to be ready end of Q3 this year. Motorola expects healthcare and manufacturing to be two industry sectors that will be very keen on the devices, due to the existing use of two-way radios.
With the ability to hop on a Mobile network when WiFi coverage doesn’t exist, the flexibility of range of user comes in to play. The device will be supported by a server who responsibility it will be to tie the calls through a corporate PBX, and handle the WiFi/cell transfers, along with maintaining a “keep alive” ping to each device.
All the devices will be WinMo-based, which immediately enables al of the message and Windows app sync functions we’ve come to know and love. Any thoughts as to the first devices? I am thinking Moto Q variant!!

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
