RIM has just released software that will allow consumers turn their Blackberry’s into a mobile IP PBX extension.

The Mobile Voice System (MVS) is made of the BlackBerry MVS Client (a component of BlackBerry Device Software); BlackBerry MVS Connectors (a component of BlackBerry Enterprise Server software); the Ascendent Voice Mobility Suite (a software suite that, according to Ascendent integrates with any PBX or network.)

According to RIM, “With a new intuitive menu interface, BlackBerry smartphone users can place, receive and manage enterprise calls from their handset with ease. The user’s corporate identity (caller ID) is extended to the handset and allows users to give out one ‘Reach Me Anywhere’ phone number that simultaneously rings their desk phone and BlackBerry smartphone. Mobile users are also able to access desk phone functions such as transfer, park, and extension dialing directly from the BlackBerry phone menu.”

Users won’t have to compromise security, Blackberry MVS has IT policies and system management functions of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, and extends the admin tools and services of the BlackBerry platform to the Ascendent Voice Mobility Suite.

This program is expected to be available later this month.

Is this new Blackberry program something you’d find useful?
