Private GSM

Private GSM solutions, appeared after the deregulation of the DECT guardband in some countries, allow users and businesses to reduce their costs without impacting in their performance and offering a number of added value services. All of this thanks to the ability to create private mobile GSM networks, enabling mobile phone users to access the same services and features as users of a PBX extension.

Current Market

Analysts estimate that 40% to 60% of corporate mobile minutes are used in building, highlighting an underappreciated pain point. Mobile phones tend to be used more often due to convenience - they are close at hand at all times, provide easy access to stored contact numbers and are more personal; as such a mobile handset makes employees easier to contact. With mobile minutes costing up to 150% more than fixed line minutes, there is a clear reason for enterprises to encourage change in mobile usage towards fixed desk phones. However, this is in direct opposition to the increasing use of mobile phones as the communications device of choice.

Increasing call spend is further exacerbated by a marked increase in mobility, as organizations increasingly move towards nomadic employees, and flexible working. Mobile penetration within organizations is also increasing, exposing enterprises to inflated mobile spending. Private GSM delivers many of the benefits demanded by enterprises; delivering call cost savings, assisting time critical decisions by improving reach, and ensuring that compliance legislations can be met. These benefits only come alive when enterprises are able to highlight real-life advantages through actual private GSM deployments.
