DiVitas Networks Announces Worldwide Availability of Mobile-to-Mobile Convergence Solution for Nokia Eseries Mobile Handsets

Mountian View, Calif. (05/20/2007) - DiVitas Networks™ announces the worldwide availability of its award winning mobile-to-mobile convergence (MMC) solution for Nokia Eseries business devices.

“Having trialed the DiVitas mobile convergence solution for the last 3 months with both Nokia E60 and E61 phones, we were able to leverage DiVitas’ considerable contributions to handset performance in a MMC environment,” said Jason Evans, managing director, Response Data Communications, a DiVitas Value Added Reseller and customer located in the U.K.

“The most compelling experience using the DiVitas solution was a recent one in which I had the phone with me while traveling in the Canary Islands,” says Evans. “I used my DiVitas-enabled Nokia phone, communicating via the hotel’s free WiFi access to make calls to the UK. By using the DiVitas solution, my calls back to the office, and out to clients and associates, were either free-of-charge or significantly less expensive.”

The DiVitas MMC solution is comprised of a Mobile Convergence Appliance™ (MCA) deployed inside the enterprise and a Mobile Convergence Client™ (MCC) running on market-leading handsets such as Nokia Eseries business devices based on S60 software on Symbian OS.

Developed by Nokia, S60 is the leading smartphone software, with more than 100 million S60 devices sold. Nokia Eseries business devices provide an ideal host for the DiVitas MMC solution. This mobile-convergence combination will provide users with handsets that offer basic and advanced mobile telephony functions, as well as access to enterprise applications (such as voice, presence, IM, email, and PBX desk phone functions).

At the same time, users will enjoy the benefits of this advanced mobile functionality while roaming seamlessly, back and forth, between disparate WiFi and cellular networks.

“Nokia Eseries is designed to enable a wide range of business solutions, and can host a wealth of advanced voice functionalities,” said Mika Laitinen of Enterprise Solutions, Nokia. “DiVitas’ MMC solution running on Nokia Eseries business devices is a great example of a value-add application that can easily be made available for business users.”

“Deploying our MMC solution for Nokia Eseries business devices gives us the opportunity to provide a highly differentiated and much needed solution to the enterprise market,” said Vivek Khuller, DiVitas president and CEO. “Now, the enterprise workers will realize the benefits of a total mobile experience – communication, messaging and information.”

The DiVitas MMC solution is WLAN, mobile-network-, handset-, operating system-, carrier- and PBX-agnostic, creating a total mobile-communications experience that remains under the complete control of the enterprise.

The DiVitas MMC solution offers several key benefits:

• Mobilizes enterprise applications such as voice, presence, IM, email, PBX desk phone functions, CRM, etc. over any network
  
  
• Mobilizes any worker – expands beyond so-called road-warriors to include corridor-warriors as well
  
  
• Transforms today’s ordinary concept of a cellular-only handset into a multi-mode device capable of communicating seamlessly over disparate networks (public- and enterprise-WiFi as well as cellular)
  
  
• Increases mobile-worker availability, responsiveness and productivity
  
  
• Cuts enterprise costs by relying more on WiFi networks, and less on cellular, for mobile-communications (on or off the corporate campus)

 

See DiVitas and Nokia at Interop Las Vegas, May 21-24, 2007 running throughout the InteropNet and in the DiVitas booth (#257) demonstrating the powerful integration of the DiVitas MMC solution and Microsoft’s LCS for S60 on Symbian OS.
