Employees on the move to access full enterprise Unified Communications functionality
MIDDLE EAST, 23 August 2010: NECNEC
Unified Solutions today announced the introduction of Smart Mobile Client, a new sophisticated solution for Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) that extends the functionality and capabilities of NECNEC communication servers to market leading smart phones. "Smart Mobile Client R2.2 provides users of popular enterprise smart phones, such as the Blackberry 9700, Nokia E72/N97 and Apple iPhone, with the experience of having full access to their company's communications network while on the move", says Bert van Koelen, Business Manager at NECNEC
Unified. "The NECNEC solution provides users with mobile unified communications functionality, by extending enterprise telephony, voicemail and corporate directory services - together with presence, instant messaging and conferencing capabilities - to smart phones over cellular networks as well as through Wi-Fi." The Smart Mobile Client solution has been developed together with CounterPath Corporation (TSX-V: CCV; OTCBB: CPAH), an award-winning provider of desktop and mobile VoIP software products and solutions. We are excited about our partnership with NECNEC
Unified Solutions and the value it brings to their customers," said Donovan Jones, CEO of CounterPath Corporation. "With Smart Mobile Client, customers on NECNEC communication servers can now seamlessly shift phone calls off the cellular network onto their enterprise Wi-Fi network, saving an estimated 30 percent on their mobile cellular spending. They can also select PBX routing schemes for considerable savings on (international) roaming costs, too." Smart Mobile Client has been installed successfully by a number of customers, who appreciate the way the client software integrates into their natural smart phone usage patterns. Users can continue using their smart phone as they are accustomed to, while Smart Mobile Client routes the calls through the company's communications server. The client software supports Blackberry, Windows Mobile and Nokia Symbian platforms and Apple iPhone and Android through the web-client.
Smart Mobile Client has proven its strength in various customer pilots. With Release 2.2 rolled out across Europe, Middle East & Africa, Smart Mobile Client is now available for iS3000 and SIP@Net communication servers. With Release 3.0, expected early 2011, Smart Mobile Client will become available for NECNEC
