Any service, over any network, on any terminal. This is how Centile addresses the needs of mobile operators and enterprises who want to deliver advanced enterprise-grade communications. They have a unique approach to workplace mobility, which Justin Hamilton-Martin, Centile's UK Director, spoke about in a recent interview. He shared:
"It doesn't matter which device they use. It also doesn't matter which network they’re connected to - our telephony services are available"
With this novel approach to workplace mobility, end users can answer a phone call on an IP phone in their home office. If they want to switch to a Bluetooth-enabled device with a headset in the middle - they can, and they can move the call to their laptop when they arrive at the office. This is all accomplished with the help of a controller, and a single click available through ISTRA.
During our interview, Hamilton-Martin told me, Centile wants to promote true workplace mobility through its Unified Comms offering, ISTRA. He said, "If your PC isn't functioning while in an important meeting, and you want to host a collaboration call on your phone, you need to be able to."
Centile Sees MOBiiS as Future of UC, Mobility, & Call Control
For meetings on outside conferencing software like Zoom, Centile also presents a clever solution. They integrate with the popular conferencing software components so end users can join video and audio conferences from any device using a smart controller. Accessing the smart controller requires end users have access to Centile's My ISTRA (PC) platform. This convenient function is even accessible on the MOBiiS softphone app for iOS and Android devices.
During our interview, Hamilton-Martin demonstrated this innovative capability. He switched audio from his mobile device to his desk phone, and his laptop computer, seamlessly. According to him, there are countless reasons why IP phones are no longer the “only default offering for customers”
