It can be delayed, and when it happened you experience dropped packets which is choppy audio and drop outs momentarily.

So I agree that you IP address might not change jumping from tower to tower when driving, but isn't there a delay from jumping from tower to tower with data? I know GSM/CDMA has voice handoffs timeframes timed in the ms mark, so the user never hears/notices that they jumped from one tower to another. But I was under the impression that data connections don't jump as fast? Kind of like then you go from a 3G to 4G area. It takes your phone a second or two to switch technologies. A second or 2 of loss is too long in a voice call conversations using SIP over data.

I've used mobile data heavily since 2002. And I've never seen it switch IPs based on towers. The only time I see it change (other than while roaming) is usually if you go from 1xRTT to 3G, or 3G to 4G (and that last part varies depending on whether you're using 3G in a 4G enabled area, which doesn't typically switch IPs) (that's CDMA centric, but my experience was similar with GSM (CSD/EDGE/HSDPA/LTE). Of course, Nextel's packetstream service never changed IPs (in mid session, anyway) for the most part that I can remember, but that was 12 years ago and who knows, my memory could be fuzzy here. I think they actually would end up changing IPs if you roamed to a different nextel region (there were several that I can recall)

I have had very few problems maintaining long term data connections over cellular networks over the years, at least not ones related to something other than signal reception or changes in what region of the network you were in, or what access technology was being used by the handset or device).

Jay,

Our provider has partially deployed UC-One. They don't support call through/mobility/SMS functionality though, so we find it limiting so far. Correct me if I am wrong but SMS though Broadsoft is still done the Message Now application that is separate and not integrated with UC-One right?

I like the idea of using cellular minutes as SIP clients on smartphones don't work well especially when traveling. Cellular voice calls jump between towers when traveling in a call, but data does not. I have heard some Broadsoft providers have integrate with Sprint's wireless solution.

Have you tried BroadSoft’s UC One BroudTouch Business Communicator Solution (BTBC).  I don’t know of ones that can top Mobile & Desktop effectively and still deliver an application rich technology.  They also support Mobile Link integrating the cell phone service as well as SMS.  We have deployed he full UC One solution.

What carrier and service provider multitenant softswitch and pbx systems are on the market today besides Broadsoft? We use a Broadsoft solution today. We like the redundancy that Broadsoft offers, and the fact that it just works. However, they are starting to seriously lack features, and there are too many Broadsoft competitors. We are finding that our Broadsoft offering is no different than Comcast, Verizon, or other local providers that offer Broadsoft services to.

We are really looking for something that integrates well for the mobile worker. The ability to use their cell phone with the service is key for us. The day's of clients buying $300 Polycom IP phones are slowing down. However, people understand the value and are willing to spend $600 on a smartphone.

What commercial solutions are there?
