A system for (and a method of) selectively establishing communication with
at least one wireless device associated with a single telephone number
serving as a virtual office extension is provided. In a preferred
embodiment, the system includes a wireless connect unit in communication
with an enterprise private branch exchange (PBX) network. The wireless
connect unit preferably serves as a gateway between the PBX and one or
more remote communication devices, including at least one wireless
device, associated with a virtual extension telephone number. The remote
wireless device can be used as a standard PBX office telephone 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 wireless device even though it is not
physically connected to the PBX. When the system receives an incoming
call, it can route the call to a remote wireless device associated with a
virtual extension, or to combination of devices simultaneously, or as
desired by the user.
