Hello,
I have a customer with CUCM 11.5 along with Presence and Expressway 8.11.
They have a number of small sites which are not connected to their main network but do have an internet connection. They want to deploy phones at these sites but ideally wanted wireless models as the staff occassionally have to leave their desks for short periods.
The Cisco 8821 wireless phone does not support MRA so we would need to extend the network via site to site VPN to use those.
MRA looks like the best option but they do not want to give users Android or iPhone handsets as there are different staff at the site each day.
One option that I think could work would be to use 7841 IP phones connected via MRA and enable Single Number Reach to ring a cheap, non-smart phone. This would give them a good quality wired phone to use for most of the day and also allow them to use the cheap mobile when they need to move away from the desk.
My question about this is does MRA now support XML services on connected 7800/8800 handsets? - I would like to give the users the ability to send calls to the mobile phone and turn the feature on and off as needed.
