BLUEGIGA AND SMARTNER TO PARTNER
FOR INTRA-OFFICE AND GLOBAL ALWAYS-ON MAIL
Roaming between local wireless network and public GPRS network for
maximum efficiency
Cambridge, England and Espoo,
Finland - 24th February 2004: Smartner, the European leader in
mobile email and office solutions, and Bluegiga Technologies, a
provider of wireless local area networks and M2M communications systems
based on Bluetooth technology, today announced global availability of
Always-on Mail solution for roaming effectively between public GPRS
network and local wireless networks.
Smartner Duality Always-on Mail extends access to Microsoft Outlook and
Lotus Notes to wireless devices. It automatically pushes new emails to
mobile professionals without any user interaction, and provides them
with complete control over their desktop functions while away from the
office. Users can access their email and calendar in real-time, with
all actions mirrored simultaneously on their desktop.
Bluegiga WRAP Multiradio Access Server enables the use of cell phones
and PDAs with Bluetooth technology to wirelessly access and synchronise
content and applications in both the corporate intranet and the
Internet. Combined with WRAP, Duality Always-on Mail is flexibly
connected to public GPRS network while out of office, and
cost-effective wireless network while in the office. Companies of any
size can enjoy the benefits of Always-on Mail, as the unique technology
powering Smartner Duality enables the solution to be affordably
deployed in environments ranging from only one to thousands of users.
“The cornerstones of Smartner Duality are uncompromised security, user
experience and low total cost of ownership”, says Ari Backholm,
Executive Vice President, Products and Marketing, Smartner. “We are
happy to provide users a complete solution together with Bluegiga, as
it takes our promise even further and strengthens our position as the
market leader in mobile office solutions.”
”To be able to take full advantage of the new smartphones such as Nokia
6600 and PDAs corporations need to deploy Bluetooth as a part of their
IT infrastructure, or they have to configure each individual PC to
allow individual users access to the corporate network’s services.
Bluegiga Access Server solves these major cost issues by providing a
local wireless access cost-effectively, and allowing an access to
TCP/IP based applications, such as Smartner’s Duality, which is an
efficient and easy enough mobile e-mail and office solution for the
end-user” says Tom Nordman, General Manager of Bluegiga.
“Smartner Duality Always-on Mail together with Bluegiga Access Servers
provide an exciting business opportunity for service providers and ICT
integrators for extending their businesses reach to cover new and fast
growing smartphone marketplace”. More information about Bluegiga Access
