Appl. No.:

10/386527

Inventors:

Brian Fowler - Sunrise FL, US

Assignee:

Managed Inventions, LLC - Fort Lauderdale FL

International Classification:

H04L 12/66

US Classification:

370352, 370354

Abstract:

A telephony network for enabling the origination and termination of telephone calls between one or more subscriber terminals connected to a public packet network with an open addressing protocol and one or more non-subscriber terminals connected to a PSTN network. Subscribers to the telephony network have E. 164 numbers mapped to their current IP address and published by a mapping server so other subscribers and non-subscribers can call the subscriber. The mapped information is published on either a HTML or XML page for direct use over the Internet by other subscribers or for use by a gateway device. The gateway device enables non-subscribers on the PSTN to directly call subscribers. Calls between subscribers completely by-pass the PSTN or the cellular network if BlueTooth or Wi-Fi enabled terminals are used. Subscribers can also call anyone with a phone number whether they are a subscriber or not.

International Classification:

H04Q007/00

US Classification:

370328000

Abstract:

A private exchange telephone system implemented within a wireless router so as to enable wireless devices connected to the router to operate like standard telephones connected to a PBX. The router includes a softswitch that allows the router to operate as the equivalent of a PSTN central office, effectuating a gateway between a packet-switched network and wireless telephony devices, such as PDAs and other types of wireless devices, in communication with the router. The router utilizes flash memory to store and operate the kernel and root file system for the router, as well as a variety of telephony applications, such as voicemail to e-mail conversion, auto-attendant, conferencing, automatic call distribution and caller identification. The router also provides availability for administrative management, roaming extensions, and branch office support for toll bypass and remote employee integration.
