C&W announces tie up with Orange on in-building mobile networks

Written by Dave Bailey

UK carrier Cable & Wireless (C& W) has announced a five-year deal with mobile operator Orange to use its mobile network for calls when its customers go out of range of their in-building mobile network.

C&W acquired a licence for low-power GSM radio in May 2006, allowing customers' in-building mobile calls to be routed over C&W's IP network.

The aim behind the deal is "to reduce the number of devices enterprise customers use, increase the locations they can use them, and so reduce mobile costs", said C&W in a statement.
