Mobile products and solutions will ensure that the user can be reached for voice, data and image communications at any location with DECT, WLL and GSM. A specific user can be reached reliably and quickly, irrespective of location, terminal device and network with one number service.

Applications based on GSM, DECT-GAP and DECT-WLL enable full-coverage availability at home (DECT connected to the public network), in the office (PBX with cordless telephone) and in the public sector (DECT-WLL). Dual-mode terminal devices extend the local mobility of cordless DECT through the global mobility of GSM. Global availability therefore grows together with the service features of the PBX. As far as the user is concerned, the most important benefits are location-independent availability and the safeguarding of investments by using existing infrastructures (PBX, LAN) and equipment.

Toward the Universal Mobile Network
The market for mobile communications is growing at an above-average rate, as is the proportion of that market represented by data communications. Interesting mobility applications for voice, data and image are available today, based on existing networks. These are being expanded continuously and adapted to future standards.

Interworking between DECT, GSM and fixed networks plays an important role with respect to optimum utilization of the service features offered by various networks. The resources and mobility functions of different networks are at the user's disposal as a result of this. GSM and DECT will merge to produce the UMTS over the long run. Apart from the integration of DECT and GSM, the multi-band and multi-mode handset will play a significant role along this road. The significance of mobile data communications is increasing continuously with regard to applications (teleworking, mobile office, telemetry), multimedia terminal devices (PIC/PDA, remote Internet access), and networks.
