GSM-gate ECCOM Basis: this multi-functional device allows subscribers of GSM network to save on mobile communication significantly and have more new opportunities with regular telephone communication. ECCOM Basis is an up-to-date communication center for your office or home.

[ Savings ] First of all ECCOM Basis supports excellent work of regular network gateway. Just connect it to telephone landline outlet or to mini-PBX extension line - and call from mobile phone to fixed landline phone and vice versa while paying for this as for mobile-to-mobile calls. Great savings are achieved if mobile phone's and Gateway's SIM-cards are subscribed to one "corporation" of mobile operator (special billing plan that presupposes very low charge for calls inside the Group or Corporation, "Family", "Pals" etc).

[ Providing telephone connection establishment ] ECCOM Basis is also compatible to be used as telephone line emulator: if you have no chance to connect to PSTN telephone landline - ECCOM Basis will do this for you in a wink of an eye, you will establish telephone communication for your office, show stand or country-house (cottage) everywhere where GSM network is available. Connect desk-top or cordless phone or mini-PBX to ECCOM Basis - and solve the communication problem at low expenses.

[ Computer connection ] Device's functions may be set from mobile or desk-top phone (this is a necessary function - though not always convenient), and also from personal computer as well. ECCOM Basis is equipped with special connector to link to computer. In this case setting procedure is simple and vivid - the same as work with any office program application. You can set subscriber right to access device, set limits for roaming and international / long-distance calls, establish individual or group SMS-sending by command or schedule and many other options are available.

[ Personal Billing system ] Personal Billing system is another important and necessary function of ECCOM Basis: it will show call expenses for all system subscribers with detailed report for each paragraph. This is a special software that can be supplied with the device. Billing system registers all calls made within GSM-gate system and shows vivid reports for all subscribers' calls, tariffing and saving rates. Billing system will help to shape your expenses when changing mobile operator plan, or to decide which operator and call plan is the best for your calls structure. Therefore, ECCOM Basis application will not only reduce calls charge but will also manage and show billing rates for your corporation / company.

[ Sensors and external devices ] Device may connect external sensors (for example, alarm system / burglar alarm). Once any sensor is activated - ECCOM Basis will automatically send SMS to a certain mobile phone number (set by you). Besides, ECCOM Basis can control external devices (household appliances, electric locks, video-observation systems, climate control etc). For example, you can simply call GSM-gate to switch ON conditioning system 20 minutes before you come home.

[ Embedded answering machine ] When you are out of network and can't receive the call - embedded answering machine will record all incoming messages and send you notification about new messages. Also you can listen to all recorded messages from your mobile phone as soon as you are within network coverage.

[ Data transfer ] ECCOM Basis is also possible to be used as a modem. Device can transfer data at speed up to 9,6 Kb/sec, in GPRS mode - up to 26,8 Kb/sec. You can send/receive faxes via ECCOM Basis connected to PC using specialized software (e.g. Symantec WinFax).

[ Call-back ] In call-back mode GSM-gateway receives the call from "registered" subscriber and bounds it back, then it calls back to this number. This mode saves money and optimizes communication expenses.

[ High communication quality ] ECCOM Basis has GSM-module embedded - in contrast to many other similar devices in the present market that use external mobile phone. Embedded solution has not only improved outlook but is also better and more reliable in operation (usually external mobile phone's battery is loading during the whole work period that usually results in premature wearing). Also updated system is not influenced by the problem of electromagnetic incompatibility: there are less hindrances and noise. The system of "echo-cancellation" also adds to better communication quality: it eliminates unpleasant "echo" that is usually common for GSM-networks.

And this is not the limit of ECCOM Basis resources and potential. You have a chance to know more about it - browse this web-page, or inquire for technical information, or contact our sales team and technical specialists.

GSM-gate ECCOM Basis is multi-functional and can be applied in various variants. Some of them are described below:

[ Corporation /group ] You have a mini-PBX in the office, but office people have to call to mobile people to solve working matters very often. All company mobile phones are subscribed to "corporation" plan and have lowest call rates for calls inside "corporation". Nevertheless, mobile phone bills are still too big. When you analyze call structure - you see that greater part of expenses is after mobile-to-landline calls.

Install one or several GSM gates with "corporation" plan SIM-cards to mini-PBX extension lines - and you will get the following advantages:

• Mobile people can call to landline phones via GSM gate. These calls charge will be now "mobile-to-mobile" (inside "corporation") + "landline-to-landline", therefore it will be much lower than "mobile-to-landline".
• Office people can call mobile phones from mini-PBX extension lines. At this mini-PBX is programmed to route all outgoing calls to mobile phones via gate. In this variant such calls are charged as "mobile to-mobile", and not as "landline-to-mobile" - and here we see considerable savings.
• Mobile people can call directly to mini-PBX extension lines - and no need to contact secretary/operator first.
• GSM gate offers CALL-BACK function. In the call-back mode: registered subscriber dials gate's number and after confirming signal dials the target number. Gate "beats back" the call, then calls to specified target number and establishes communication. All outgoing calls at this are charged to the gate - and not to the subscriber who is actually making call. Therefore, you have a possibility to control mobile communication expenses. Call-back mode - as well as all other ECCOM Basis dedicated services - is set and controlled by access rights. You are welcome to offer this service to your colleagues, partners or customers.
• It's easy to organize group or individual SMS-sending by command or schedule from ECCOM Basis using computer. This is an easy way to spread information on promotions, products stock updating, or to send congratulations etc.
• Special Billing system (for calls registering and tariffing) allows to determine each subscriber individual expenses, to build calls structure, to define mobile communication conditions for each subscriber.

Based on statistics, office communication expenses drop by 30-40% after ECCOM Basis is installed. Moreover, you can estimate cost-effectiveness for your special case - use [ ECCOM-calculator ].
