An IP PBX system that serves enterprise telephones via a landline IP
network connection is be expanded to serve cellular wireless
communication devices (WCD) via a cellular wireless carrier's radio
access network (RAN). Calls to and from the cellular WCD are connected
through the cellular carrier's RAN and the IP PBX system, so that the IP
PBX system can control and manage the calls just as the IP PBX would
control and manage calls involving other extensions on the IP PBX. A
cellular WCD thereby becomes an IP PBX client station, i.e., an extension
on the IP PBX system. As such, the cellular WCD can seamlessly benefit
from many of the same IP PBX features that other more conventional IP PBX
client stations (e.g., desk phones) enjoy.
