Rogers Wi-Fi Calling for Business

An integrated wireless communications solution leveraging exclusive Rogers UMA technology that enables voice, data and messaging to be routed over customers Wi-Fi networks.

What is Wi-Fi Calling?

Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) enables a mobile phone to connect over a Wi-Fi network and then handover seamlessly to a GSM cellular network if the caller moves beyond the Wi-Fi range. The handover process is transparent to the user, just as a user passes from one wireless network cell to another. The key requirements for Wi-Fi calling are:

  1. UMA-enabled Dual mode handsets.
  2. a Wi-Fi network capable of supporting voice service.
  3. a Wi-Fi calling plan from Rogers.

With International Roaming & Unlimited back-to-Canada Wi-Fi Calling, business customers can make unlimited calls back to Canada plus get reduced in country roaming rates anywhere with Wi-Fi Access while traveling outside of the country.

Features and Benefits

  • In-Building/On-Campus Coverage & Inherent Redundancy. If you have no coverage or "trouble spots" in your facility or campus, Wi-Fi calling can reduce or eliminate dropped calls and interruptions by improving coverage. If your business is located at the edge of the Rogers network and does not normally receive a cellular signal, you can extend the wireless network within your workplace and, if immediately adjacent to the outdoor network, roam seamlessly without dropping a call.
  • Cost Predictability. Most businesses pay "overage" fees when users exceed their capped minute plans. Rogers Wi-Fi calling plans enable subscribers to make unlimited local and national calls without impact to monthly a subscriber's minute bucket.
  • Increased User Productivity. Wi-Fi calling enables seamless, reliable coverage that allows users to focus on business, not connectivity. Wi-Fi calling can act as a desk phone replacement, allowing employees to move freely throughout the facility and beyond, untethered to their desks.
  • Ease of Deployment. UMA is embedded in devices by several manufacturers including Research in Motion and HTC. Configuring smartphones to connect with and remember access points is a quick process using a connections manager on the devices. Beyond the initial set up, Wi-Fi calling requires no learning or changes in behaviour for current smartphone users.
