Cellular Telephone Dialtone Options

 

For portable or mobile deployments where dependable cellular telephone service is available and land-lines are not, our cellular base station terminals offer a quick and easy way to connect your telephone system with the outside world. You can also take advantage of low-cost cellular calling plans. (Cellular service plans are available directly from your local providers.)

 

For permanent installations, a cellular telephone base station terminal call save money by allowing you to take advantage of calling plans with free cellphone to cellphone calling. This is especially useful for agencies with many cell phone users. The terminal can be installed behind any PBX telephone system on a spare analog trunk port for easy access from any phone. Least-call-routing programming can allow cellular calls to be automatically routed to the terminal rather than a conventional land-line.

 

  • Portable systems for use with Northmark Communications DTS telephone systems
  • Fixed installations in offices and emergency operations centers
  • Mobile installations in command and communication support vehicles
  • 9-1-1 PSAP backup systems
