Hilversum, January 28, 2013 – NEC, global leader in enterprise communications, today announced the launch in EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa) of uMobility, a Fixed Mobile Convergence solution that makes smartphones true extensions of an enterprise telephony system and equips users with powerful Mobile Unified Communications.
uMobility is available for a range of mobile devices and extends the functionality and capabilities of enterprise communication servers to smartphone clients, such as iOS, Android, BlackBerry and Nokia, as well as Android and iOS tablets. Workers can use their mobile devices on the company’s wireless network when within range and can without interruption transfer to the public mobile network when outside range of the corporate network.
“Many employees today don’t just need the freedom to move around and work from different locations within the office, but also need mobility elsewhere; at customers’ premises or on the road”, says Bert van Koelen, Business Manager Business Mobility at NEC Unified Solutions. “uMobility provides all the functionality you need for access to enterprise telephony and Unified Communications from any location, by integrating smart phones within the enterprise network. Employees can now enjoy the ease of a single handset with enterprise dialling and single number reach that works as effectively in the office as when travelling or working from home”, explains van Koelen.
A single mobile handset
With NEC’s uMobility, businesses are able to empower employees with single number reach and identity. When colleagues and customers call one’s enterprise phone number, both business phone and smart phone ring. The smartphone will roam between available Wi-Fi networks and the mobile network. Furthermore, there is no need to check multiple voicemail boxes for messages; all missed calls are routed to a central mailbox that can be checked from one’s desk or on the go. Key PBX functionality provided by uMobility includes hold, transfer, voicemail, corporate directory and operator assistance.
uMobility is supported across all NEC communication servers and provides powerful management and diagnostics. One single application can support multiple PBXs, while redundancy and virtualization options are available as well.
