| | PC World - Cisco Phone Calls on Wi-Fi |
 | | The phone, which will carry the model number 7920, communicates only with IEEE 802.11b technology and is designed for use within enterprises rather than totally replacing a cell phone, said Charlie Giancarlo, senior vice president and general manager of switching, voice, and carrier systems. |
 | | The 7920 joins Cisco's 7960 IP phone, which sits on a desk and plugs into a wired Ethernet network, and brings the added benefit of mobility around a building or campus that has a wireless LAN. |
 | | Customers are turning to IP telephony because it simplifies their network infrastructures and can lower costs, and a mobile IP phone would be attractive to many companies because it would let them add mobility without paying for cell phone airtime, Pratt said. |
