Claims36
A telecommunications server comprising:
- a processor adapted to route an outbound communication initiated by a wireless device through an enterprise communication network by:
- registering the wireless device with a server associated with the enterprise communication network;
- inputting a first data signal from the registered wireless device, the first data signal comprising a first device indicator of an intended recipient device of the outbound communication;
- translating the first device indicator into a first address suitable for establishing a first communication path with the intended recipient device;
- establishing the first communication path using the first address;
- establishing a second communication path to the wireless device;
- and
- connecting the first and second communication paths to route the outbound communication from the wireless device to the recipient.

A telecommunications server comprising:
- a processor adapted to route a communication by:
- receiving over a first communication path an incoming call to a primary device telephony address;
- translating the primary device telephony address into a first connection indicator for a remote device associated with said primary device telephony address;
- transmitting a first data signal to the remote device, the data signal inquiring whether the incoming call is to be accepted at the remote device;
- receiving a second data signal from the remote device;
- determining whether the incoming call is accepted based on the second data signal;
- and
- conditioned upon the incoming call being accepted, establishing a second communication path to the remote device using the first connection number and connecting the first and second paths such that the incoming call is routed to the remote device.
