The Technology to Drive Mobile Convergence.
At the heart of multi-network mobility are wireless networks, such as cellular, WiFi, 3G, and WiMax. Today, enterprises can take advantage of routing between the two most common networks, cellular and WiFi, but tomorrow there will be more mobile networks deployed, like WiMAX and 3G, to enable enhanced enterprise mobility. The RoamAnywhere™ Mobility Router and Agito RoamAnywhere client are architected with complex algorithms to best determine how to route between wireless networks. The RoamAnywhere Mobility Router abstracts all the wireless and RF complexity and presents the IT and networks administrators with a simple solution to operate and deploy.

One of the groundbreaking techniques used in the RoamAnywhere Mobility Router is location awareness. The power of location awareness can be seen throughout the solution:

• Fast, subsecond, automatic routing between WiFi and cellular networks
• Location-aware mobile policies that adapt dynamically to a user's location
• Dual mode smartphone battery life savings

Location-Aware Handover.
Carrier agnostic multi-network wireless solutions must determine when to route sessions between WiFi and cellular (and vice versa). Solutions today fall into two categories:

• User driven, manual push button "transfers" between WiFi and cellular networks
• Automatic handover between WiFi and cellular networks

Enterprises have been clear that manual handover (e.g. push button "transfers") fails to address their requirements. Enterprise users require a transparent experience, and cannot be bothered to stop a call midstream to transfer it to cellular or WiFi.

Existing automatic handover solutions attempt to address this key enterprise requirement, but fall short due to the simplistic techniques that often produce an undesirable user experience. Typical issues include long handover delays (> 1 second) and erratic, unreliable performance.

The RoamAnywhere Mobility Router adds the element of location awareness to solve the challenging problem of routing between multiple networks. Location awareness ensures that calls inside the building stay on WiFi (where appropriate), and route to cellular when the user moves outside, and vice versa. Location awareness provides a simple means for the administrator to ensure proper routing between WiFi and cellular regardless of the make, model or type of dual mode phone, and a provides a seamless, transparent experience for the user.

Common Sense Best Practices.
Agito Networks has created the RoamAnywhere solution for enterprises of all sizes, large and small. The RoamAnywhere Mobility Router follows the industry accepted best practice of separating control traffic from data/media traffic, ensuring:

• High application availability - In the event of an outage, ongoing WiFi calls are unaffected
• High scalability - The RoamAnywhere Mobility Router scales to 1000 simultaneous users per appliance

In addition to the RoamAnywhere Mobility Router, the Agito RoamAnywhere client, a thin client for smartphones, is also a core component to the solution. The hybrid nature of the architecture distributes routing functionality down to the handsets, in addition to the RoamAnywhere Mobility router. This gives enterprises the following benefits:

• Extremely responsive, accurate routing between WiFi and cellular - The Agito RoamAnywhere solution's hybrid architecture distributes routing decisions between the handset and the RoamAnywhere Mobility Router, increasing overall system performance.
• Cost effective - The RoamAnywhere Mobility Router does NOT required cellular data plans for users of the system. While support for a cellular data enables enhanced features, it is not required for standard features including routing between WiFi and cellular networks and native PBX integration for mobile phones.

Robust Archtecture. Easy to Deploy.
The RoamAnywhere Mobility Router uses industry-tested and proven RF techniques to provide the IT administrators a very simple deployment and operational experience. In fact, RF knowledge is not a requirement for deployment. Typical deployments can be done in just a few minutes. Provisioning of the client is a simple process, made even easier with native integration into Microsoft Active Directory, LDAP user directories, and leading IP PBXes.
