CES 2006: Roam from your home with the Motorola Residential Seamless Mobility Gateway

From glorious Vegas, Motorola have announced the Motorola Residential Seamles Mobility Gateway (RSG) at CES 2006. The RSG lets you use one mobile phone and one number to make and receive calls from a landline when you’re in your home, or through a mobile phone network when you’re away from home. The product includes an 802.11b/g wireless access point, a four-port router, and a built-in Voice-over-IP adapter. This technology allows the RSG to run your home network, power standard telephones, and act as a hotspot for your mobile phone.
Better still, the Motorola RSG can seamlessly transfer voice calls between the home wireless network (WLAN) and the cellular network without interrupting the call, when paired with a dual-mode handset (DMH) and connected to a network and service that supports this feature. Dual-mode handsets are mobile devices that can access both cellular and in-home wireless networks.
