White Office: Softbank’s solution for corporate use

This is one alternative to cut down corporate cost due to global recession. Softbank Mobile and Softbank Telecom have collaborated on serving Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) to use Softbank’s mobile phone as extension to fixed line phone. The solution is named White Office (not White House, of course) and be used for local Japan area.
The service enables corporate customers to use Softbank handsets as an extension of fixed-line telephones and handles calls between mobile handsets as well as between mobile and fixed-line as extension-to-extension calls regardless being outside or in the office. Key functions of conventional extension are available on mobile as well such as calling extension number display, hold and call forwarding, which renders a feeling of having an omni-office.
In addition, White Office can be introduced for use by mere change of the setting of a private branch exchange (PBX) in current use without spending big additional capital expenditure. Flat rate for extension calls is planned to be offered for introduction and use at ease, Softbank said.
