I'm looking for a piece of equipment which probably doesn't exist, provides a service probably better provided by something else, which a senior manager wants to buy :-) We have a dozen or so technical people around the company who spend most of their time out of their official offices, working around our office complexes (computer system managers, in-house telephone people, facilities manager, etc). They would like to receive their phone calls (and make calls) wherever they are. We are looking for something between a "home" wireless telephone and a cell-phone, with voice capability (not just a pager). Someone recalls recently seeing an ad for "factory floor" wireless phones, but can't remember the magazine or issue! We would like this to tie into our PBX, so that when you dial the person's extension, you get their protable phone. (I'm not enjoying this any more than you are, believe me!) Our office "campus" covers an area about 1/2 mile square. Any recommendations?
