Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for providing high availability voice applications. More specifically, one or more applications may share an extension of a switch among each other. This allows each application to receive data from the switch without occupying additional extensions of the switch. A first application sharing the extension with a second application may be provided as a backup to the second application in case the second application fails. Thus, the second application does not represent a single point of failure for the overall system.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for transmitting audio information and digital images via a wireless switching network by performing the operations of starting a photo or audio session by a digital camera or audio appliance; connecting the digital camera or audio appliance to a wireless telecommunication terminal; reserving bandwidth on the wireless switching network; transmitting digital images or audio information between the digital camera or audio appliance and a centralized database via a first path on the wireless switching network; and establishing a second path for transmission of digital images or audio information upon the first path being interrupted using the reserved bandwidth for the second path.
