Why It’s Fierce: TeleSym’s software turns
existing PDAs and Wi-Fi networks into wireless
voice-over-IP systems for enterprise-wide
communication. With TeleSym's software, anyone using
a Wi-Fi-enabled PDA can make VoIP call
through their company's main PBX system. In other
words, it creates one centralized voice system for a
company’s mobile workers, no matter where those
workers are. This technology not only has a
"coolness" factor but it actually adds value. The
system is comparable in price to other competing
VoIP systems but it also offers wireless
portability. TeleSym’s product has also received
rave reviews (Telephony Magazine’s "Product of the
Year") and was the recent beneficiary of a strategic
investment from Intel’s Communications Fund.
What to look for in 2003: TeleSym should
line up sales partnerships with a major IT
integrator as well as a large enterprise with a
sizeable mobile workforce.
