Avayaand Nokia have announced the
next phase of their strategic collaboration with a product that
provides users of Nokia Eseries business devices with one number
access and advanced enterprise telephony capabilities as they
travel acrossprivate Wi-Fi and public mobilenetworks.
With a single mobile device, workers can "handoff" phone calls
at the click of a button, using dual mode communications, as they
travel from inside a company building (Wi-Fi) to the outside
environment (mobile) - and vice versa.
Avaya says this gives workers a more convenient and productive
way to manage their communications, while giving organisations a
more cost-effective approach to enterprise mobility.
The Avaya one-X Mobile Dual Mode Edition combines
internet-protocol-based applications with Nokia Eseries business
devices - the Nokia E60, Nokia E61 and Nokia E70 models - to
deliver the full benefits of FMC. The offering includes a dual-mode
device with Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) capabilities that can
make and receive calls over both mobile and wireless local area
networks, both on and off a company campus.
