A system for (and a method of) selectively establishing communication with
one of plural devices associated with a single telephone number is
provided. In a preferred embodiment, the system includes a wireless
connect unit connected between an enterprise private branch exchange
(PBX) network and a public switched telephone network. The wireless
connect unit preferably serves as a gateway between the PBX and one or
more remote communication devices. The remote devices can be used as
standard PBX office telephones for both inbound and outbound telephone
calls. Thus, features of the PBX network (e.g., voice mail, direct
extension dialing, corporate calling plan, etc.) are available to the
remote device even though they are not physically connected to the PBX.
When the system receives an incoming call, it can route the call to an
office telephone and one or more of the remote devices simultaneously or
as desired by the user.
