Rumors abound on this subject, but hard info is tough to find. Motorola is said to be working on a cellular based PBX for on site use of standard cellphones Mitsubishi/Astrocom (Astronet?) is said to be doing the same. Ditto Ericsson. All sell standard cellular systems now, with the last two successful in the smaller systems sizes, primarily. I seem to recall reading an article in Telephony or TE&M last year about a smaller company that had already developed a small cellular switch, but they were having FCC trouble, or something. I don't have that issue anymore... I talked to my contact in GTE Mobilnet engineering, and he is unaware of their being apporached by any potenial vendor, but he's heard rumors, too. Macy M.
