3 Introduction to the AMC
Thank you for using the AMC for Android-based mobile phones. The AMC is a fixed-
mobile convergence (FMC) application and runs on most phones based on the Android
Version 2.3 and 4.0/4.1 . Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) is the integration of mobile
phones into the fixed-line communications system of an enterprise. The AMC installed
on your mobile phone behaves like this. It acts as a regular desk phone, supporting all
of the important PBX features using mobile networks.
The AMC Solution utilizes existing networks, thereby avoiding additional installation
costs. To start with, the existing mobile network or Wi-Fi access point can be used.
