The DEFINITY Wireless Business System and the Forum™ Personal
Communications Manager are similar in many respects. The DEFINITY Wireless
Business System can be integrated with the DEFINITY ECS, and thus has some
inherent efficiencies. The Forum uses an adjunct device but offers slightly higher
capacities. It also uses an international industry standard that is more common in
some parts of the world.

Both systems feature Lucent’s Wireless System Engineering Expert Design
System. This patented software, which is unique in the wireless industry,
analyzes the building or campus space and determines how the wireless system
should be configured. It precisely locates base stations within the structure or
structures. The software effectively eliminates the most difficult aspect of wireless
implementation and ensures maximum efficiency and lower life cycle costs.

DEFINITY Wireless Business System
The DEFINITY Wireless Business System relies on the DEFINITY ECS system to
manage mobility. It uses Personal Wireless Telecommunications technology,
which is a leading protocol in the United States. This standard, which has the pri-
mary advantage of permitting up to 12 simultaneous conversations per base sta-
tion, defines the radio interface between the portable telephones and the base
stations in the system.

Forum Personal Communications Manager
The Forum Personal Communications Manager uses a Forum switch, which can
serve as an adjunct to DEFINITY ECS, to manage mobility. The system uses
Cordless Telephone Generation 2 (CT2) technology, which is a global standard
for wireless telephone service. This standard defines the radio interface between
the Forum pocket telephones and the base stations in the system.
