This article outlines the desirable features of an FMC (Fixed to Mobile Conversion) solution. FMC is a buzz term that refers to the ability to use a standard mobile phone just like a PBX telephone set. Other terms (e.g. Mobile integration) are used though too.

In reality, FMC users mostly have 2 or more phones (a PBX telephone set, a mobile, a soft client, ...), creating need for coordination of all these devices.

The table lists some of the desirable features and shows how various solutions we have looked at perform. Not all of them are mandatory though.

  • CFU refers to the trivial implementation (setting a call forwarding unconditional to your mobile)
  • poor mans FMC is what can be done today with innovaphone PBX standard features
  • VoWLAN means using a standard SIP WLAN / UMTS phone
  • Quescom refers to the Quescom FMC Solution
  • 2N refers to the 2N FMC solution (not yet tested)

Note that Vierling, Boomering, Counterpath or Optimobile (and probably lots of others) could be added here.
