The whole point of having a virtual desktop infrastructure is so you can move your office wherever it needs to be, and access it through whatever you can carry with you. And the whole point of unified communications (UC) is so you can integrate all the information and voice traffic you receive into a single console. The problem up to now is that it’s been hard (maybe not impossible, but hard) to do both – to stream the voice traffic from the UC system to the virtual desktop using channels made for the job.

The importance of mobility in unified communications has been widely recognized, however few vendors have really built a significant lead. While the big vendors have been making the biggest noise, the most interesting developments seem to be coming out of the smaller vendors. A good case in point is Mitel, which has a mobility line up that is as deep as the majors and includes some capabilities that really separate them from the pack.
Mitel has been moving forward with mobility on a number of fronts including their Dynamic Extension, Unified Communicator Advanced, integration with BlackBerry Mobile Voice System (MVS) 5.1, as well as a unique capability to leverage cell phone location with presence. They also offer both voice over wireless LAN (VoWLAN) and DECT solutions for in-building mobility.
