"The Cisco 3300 Series Mobility Services Engine, which will ship in June, is designed to give its enterprise IT customers one platform that will tie disparate wireless networks, mobile devices and applications into a single platform so that these businesses can manage their employees' mobile devices and applications across both wireless and wired networks, whether that's a large cellular network or a WiFi network."

"Cisco has for years sold network gear and desk phones, but lacks a presence in cellphones. The platform will allow corporate IT department to manage the security and services for employee cellphones. One such feature is the corporate management of phones switching between the office Wi-Fi network and the cellular network on the outside.
'Cellphones is what the rest of the world is basing its future on, not the office desk phone,' Dulaney said."
