Rumors abound on this subject, but hard info is tough to find.
Motorola is said to be working on a cellular based PBX for on site use
of standard cellphones Mitsubishi/Astrocom (Astronet?) is said to be
doing the same.  Ditto Ericsson.  All sell standard cellular systems
now, with the last two successful in the smaller systems sizes,
primarily.  I seem to recall reading an article in Telephony or TE&M
last year about a smaller company that had already developed a small
cellular switch, but they were having FCC trouble, or something.  I
don't have that issue anymore...  I talked to my contact in GTE
Mobilnet engineering, and he is unaware of their being apporached by
any potenial vendor, but he's heard rumors, too.

A Follow-up on this topic: There is an article in the most recent
issue of _Telephony_ (29 Nov 89) concerning the mobile telephone
"revolution" under way in Europe.  One of the topics discussed is
short range mobile telephones and their possible use in wireless
PBX's.  Not a geat deal of information, but names of a couple
manufacturers are given.  The problems of multiple standards and rapid
changes in politics, tarriffs and technology are the primary focus of
the article.
