Mobile & Wireless: Agito Eases Central Control with RoamAnywhere


The Agito Networks RoamAnywhere Mobility Router lets Windows Mobile- or Symbian-based smart phones integrate directly with the corporate PBX, allowing users to have a single telephone profile no matter where they are or what type of network they are connected to.

  • Client Install
    Agito Networks' RoamAnywhere client can be installed on smart phones running Windows Mobile (left) or Symbian OS (right). The software installer automatically identifies the type of device and installs the appropriate client software.
  • Client Config
    The client software for both platforms needs to be pointed towards Agito's Mobility Router and configured with the user's credentials.
  • Extensions
    The RoamAnywhere client maintains both the corporate and mobile personalities.
  • Forwarding
    Users on both platforms can easily set call forwarding and voice mail rules from the device.
  • Directory Lookup
    Unlike the software for use with the Symbian OS, which has a separate dialer application, Agito's Windows Mobile functions are painted directly into the native dial application. Here we perform a lookup from the corporate directory.
  • Calibration
    To guide the network as to where to trigger roaming between Wi-Fi and cell networks, administrators take signal fingerprints at egress points in the building.
  • Dashboard
    System administrators log in to the dashboard to get a high-level view of system performance and utilization metrics.
  • Usage Views
    Administrators can also view more detailed information about cell versus Wi-Fi calls, aggregate usage and call failures for preset time intervals.
  • Call Reports
    The Agito RoamAnywhere console also provides detailed call reports outlining roam events and call participants.
  • Locations
    Agito administrators define office locations, allowing them to tailor signal strength thresholds in order to fine-tune roaming performance according to the needs of each location.
  • Secure Remote Voice
    Administrators centrally control security. Among the options, administrators can enforce that encryption be used on calls from remote Wi-Fi networks.
