(InfoWorld) - After testing the waters with consumers for more than a year, BT Group plans to extend its converged fixed-mobile communications service to businesses early next year. The move follows a successful field test with a government organization. BT Corporate Fusion, announced Thursday, combines Wi-Fi and mobile phone service for voice calls, using VOIP (voice over Internet Protocol) technology when calls are made over a wireless network to lower phone costs. The service will be rolled out initially in the U.K. and Italy early next year, with Germany, France, Spain, and the Benelux countries to follow. The operator plans to announce handset deals in the coming weeks. The new service works like this: Calls made from dual-mode Wi-Fi-GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) phones within an office building are connected through Wi-Fi access points and routed over existing fixed-line infrastructure. Using VOIP technology to route those calls saves money. Outside corporate premises, the dual-mode phone operates like a mobile phone, providing ubiquitous coverage and global roaming. These calls, however, are more expensive because they are carried over mobile phone networks. The Leeds City Council has been testing the new converged service at two locations. Several operators, including Deutsche Telekom and the Danish subsidiary of Sweden's TeliaSonera, have launchedÂ new converged fixed-mobile servicesÂ but these offerings areÂ targeted at consumers, largely in a move to keep customers from abandoning traditional fixed-line telephone service. On Thursday, BT also said the group expects to more than double revenue from networking services for enterprises in the U.S., Japan, China, and India. The company did not pen a number to its predication.
