Clearfly Communications Offers Its SMB Customers Managed Mobile UC Services From DiVitas Networks
Customers Leverage Existing WLAN and PBX Investments While Cutting Cell Costs and Improving Quality of Mobile Communications
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIF., June 10, 2009 – DiVitas Networks™, the leader in Mobile Unified Communications (Mobile UC), announced today that Clearfly Communications, an infrastructure-based provider of integrated communications solutions for the small and medium business community, is selling its Mobile UC solution, branded by Clearfly as “Mobile SIP”, as a managed service to its customers throughout the Western United States.
Clearfly offers integrated service packages in 14 Western states, excluding California and Nevada. Its customers, which range in size from 10 to 500 employees, are deploying DiVitas Mobile UC as a managed service to reduce cellular costs and improve productivity while leveraging their PBX and WiFi investments.
Clearfly’s mission is to provide small and medium size businesses in underserved suburban markets with "large business like” voice, data, and mobile services at a cost that is affordable and in a package that is manageable.
“Layering DiVitas Mobile UC on top of an existing mobile-communications infrastructure is easy for our customers -- and they begin realizing benefits from day one,” says Mauro Calvi, CEO, Clearfly Communications. “Cellular bills typically drop immediately, and voice quality improves right away – our customers are on the way to realizing cost savings and improved productivity as soon as they start using DiVitas.”
With DiVitas Mobile UC, individuals roam seamlessly between WiFi and cellular networks, ensuring no dropped calls. However, calls are placed and received via free WiFi preferentially if a WiFi signal is available. Seamless roaming to WiFi saves on mobile-communications costs by reducing the number of monthly cellular minutes used.
Clearfly is already seeing significant demand for Mobile UC from a variety of verticals, ranging from healthcare to manufacturing. The Managed Service Provider installs the CPE (customer premises equipment) at its customer locations then deploys and manages the Mobile UC solution.
This managed-services model for Mobile UC is practical for the SMB-sized customer Clearfly serves. As IT organizations downsize, or are expected to do more with the same staff, they are turning to third parties and managed services for help.
This cost saving benefit has great appeal to companies needing to cut costs without sacrificing productivity. With Mobile UC, voice coverage is continuous, but free WiFi calls offload cellular minutes to reduce costs. For example, the average Clearfly customer spends between $90 to $100 per month, per mobile user. Using DiVitas, they are able to shave up to 30 percent off that cost by lowering their cellular usage in favor of WiFi.
“The tougher the financial conditions, the harder organizations look for ways to stretch their dollars,” continued Calvi. “Companies want to take advantage of the significant investment they’ve already made in their PBXs and their wireless LANs, and they want maximum value from their corporate smartphone purchases. DiVitas Mobile UC meets these challenges head on.”
