Abstract
A private exchange telephone system implemented within a wireless router so as to enable wireless devices connected to the router to operate like standard telephones connected to a PBX. The router includes a softswitch that allows the router to operate as the equivalent of a PSTN central office, effectuating a gateway between a packet-switched network and wireless telephony devices, such as PDAs and other types of wireless devices, in communication with the router. The router utilizes flash memory to store and operate the kernel and root file system for the router, as well as a variety of telephony applications, such as voicemail to e-mail conversion, auto-attendant, conferencing, automatic call distribution and caller identification. The router also provides availability for administrative management, roaming extensions, and branch office support for toll bypass and remote employee integration.
