Motorola, Inc. has launched its Enterprise Seamless Mobility solution, which integrates wireless and cellular networks to deliver enhanced business communications, cost savings, and increased productivity to commercial enterprises. The solution enables users to access enterprise telephony, email, intranet, and corporate directories from anywhere, inside or outside the office, using a single mobile device.

Key Takeaways:

  • The Enterprise Seamless Mobility solution uses wireless local area network (WLAN) and public cellular network technologies to provide contiguous communication services to users.
  • The solution supports secure "always on" mobile access to IP telephony features and capabilities inside the enterprise and on the cellular network.
  • Users can be reached inside or outside the enterprise at a single phone number and retrieve messages from a single voice mailbox.
  • The solution provides cost savings opportunities through intelligent call routing, device consolidation, and advanced power-saving techniques.
  • New capabilities are provided through wireless access to corporate applications, including email, data, and directories inside or outside the enterprise campus.
  • The solution incorporates industry standard security mechanisms and Quality of Service (QoS) standards to ensure voice quality.
  • Motorola's CN620 Mobile Office Device ties together WLAN and cellular technologies in a single device for easier and more efficient access to voice and data networks.
  • The Wireless Services Manager facilitates the seamless hand-off between WLAN and cellular networks, providing contiguous communication.

Statistics:

  • Motorola's Enterprise Seamless Mobility solution supports contiguous communication services to users across enterprise wireless networks and public cellular networks.
