hi all, a customer does want to have mobile integration within his asterisk based pbx - i have already an idea how to provide it - but wanted to ask here if someone already has an better approach - or other ideas... What the customer basically wants is to see the status of employees mobile phone. Other functions would be: - transfer call to mobile (thats not a problem) - transfer call from mobile to pbx extension (hmmm......) - pickup call ringing on mobile (are you crazy man.... ?) - have access to pbx phonebook on mobile (not really an asterisk related thing) - see status of other employees on mobile - directly call extensions from mobile - transfer calls to voicemail from mobile How to make this possible ? - I think there is no way around to create an application for the mobile - iphone, android, blackberry suppored - application must communicate with server - the xmpp protocol comes in mind - application does watch mobile status - and does set presence according to mobile status - asterisk does read presence from xmpp server - pbx phonebook by using ldap - maybe sync with mobile phonebook - call extensions on pbx - lets only sent a xmpp message to asterisk - and let asterisk dial me - then the extension - pickup the call ringing on the mobile - asterisk will send a xmpp message to the mobile - the mobile will forward (redirect - is redirect possible with gsm ?) current ringing call to the given number - transfer call from mobile to pbx extension ? no idea about this... Does something like this already exist for asterisk ? (i have seen something like this for ther pbxes...) Someone else interested in this ? best regards, Wolfgang
