Nokia showcases Nokia Intellisync Call Connect for Cisco business voice solution on new dual-mode Nokia E65 and Nokia E61i business devices

At the Interop show in Las Vegas, May 22-25, Nokia is demonstrating the combination of Nokia Intellisync Call Connect for Cisco solution running on two of the latest Nokia Eseries devices, Nokia E65 and Nokia E61i. The full functionality of Nokia Intellisync Call Connect for Cisco can be experienced in the Cisco booth, No.1225, at Interop.

With this demonstration, Nokia highlights not only its role in accelerating the adoption of business mobility solutions, but also the importance of the mobile business device in bridging the converging worlds of mobile telephony, corporate telephony, and Information Technology (IT). Nokia E61i, Nokia E65, and all dual-mode Nokia Eseries devices support the full range of Nokia business voice solutions, including Nokia Intellisync Call Connect for Alcatel, Nokia Intellisync Call Connect for Cisco, and Avaya One-X.

“Nokia Eseries business devices are growing in popularity among business users, who now realize they needn’t compromise on capabilities or style,” said Antti Vasara, senior vice president, Mobile Devices Unit, Enterprise Solutions, Nokia. “Nokia Eseries is the only business-grade device portfolio with a choice of products designed to optimize customers’ ability to collaborate, communicate, and operate in ways that fit their usage preferences.”

Nokia Eseries devices run a variety of email, business voice, security, and mobile workforce management applications and other business application software. Vasara continued, “Nearly 40 percent of all business cellular users’ time is spent away from their desks or primary work areas, and nearly 50 percent of this is on-premises. The importance of sophisticated mobile business devices that offer a superior user experience will only increase as businesses implement mobile email across a wider employee base, and at the same time begin to mobilize additional high ROI mobility solutions such as business voice and other corporate applications.”

Dual-mode Nokia Eseries devices with wireless LAN are ideal for implementing a business voice solution integrating mobile devices into fixed corporate telephony systems. With an integrated system, business users need only carry a single device with a single business number for fixed and mobile telephony. They can take advantage of the rich feature set of corporate telephony systems as well as cost savings from features like least-cost routing.

For personal use, the integrated SIP VoIP capabilities of dual-mode Nokia Eseries devices allow users also to make and receive Internet calls over the wireless LAN networks in homes, airports, and other hotspots.

Combination of beauty and brains without compromise drives Nokia Eseries momentum
The immediate success of Nokia E65 device, a business smartphone slider, in key European and Asian markets, further fueled by fast and efficient availability in other markets, has accelerated the momentum established by the first wave of Nokia Eseries devices - particularly Nokia E61 and Nokia E50. The recently released Nokia E61i is an ideal device for users demanding a superb email, business voice, and Internet browsing experience. Equipped with a full keyboard and brilliant screen, Nokia E61i provides easy access to Nokia Intellisync Wireless Email and other business and consumer email applications--such as BlackBerry Connect, Visto Mobile, Seven Always-on Mail, and Mail for Exchange, a Nokia solution that wirelessly synchronizes email with attachments, calendar, and contact information directly from Microsoft Exchange servers.

Designed to mobilize the most-used business applications and processes, Nokia Eseries business devices bring advanced voice features with superior voice quality, business email with attachment handling, and manageability with business-class device security to the most demanding business users. The devices are also easy to deploy within IT infrastructures, further facilitating the adoption of mobility solutions. By also featuring cameras, video capabilities and music players, and giving users access to travel, weather, news, and financial information, second-wave Nokia Eseries devices let customers bridge their work and personal lives.

The combination of Nokia Eseries devices and the Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite 8.0 mobileware platform significantly increases the potential for businesses to achieve new levels of productivity and competitive advantage. Nokia Intellisync Device Management capabilities allow businesses to comprehensively deploy, provision, secure and manage mobile device fleets, allowing over-the-air provisioning, software installation, security policy enforcement, remote device control, and easy lock and data-wipe for devices that are lost or stolen, helping protect company and personal data.

With the highly anticipated arrival of Nokia E90 Communicator in select markets later this quarter, followed by global availability in Q3, second-wave Nokia Eseries devices will be available across the business smartphone, messaging, and mobile office categories.
