New Nokia email devices target business users
Oct 13, 2005: Nokia has announced that it is to introduce three new mobile devices, specifically aimed at the business world, in the early part of next year.
The Nokia E60, E61 and E70 will combine 3G and WLAN with advanced voice services and mobile email applications.
Nokia said the new handsets will allow businesses of all sizes to mobilise their workforce, with new underlying technologies that allow IT departments to effectively manage security settings, corporate applications and data.
Each of the devices will support corporate mobile email solutions like BlackBerry Connect and Nokia's Business Centre, among others.
The devices support advanced voice services, such as Internet (Voice over IP) phone calls, Push to talk, and other SIP-based rich call services. Companies deploying an Avaya or Cisco IP PBX can connect the new Nokia devices directly to their corporate phone networks, enabling functions employees have come to expect from a corporate network like four-digit dialing and assisted call answering.
"When we carefully considered the requirements of our customers when developing these devices, two clear new trends emerged: the need for IT departments' to have a secure and manageable platform, and the need for devices to support a variety of employee preferences and different working styles," said Niklas Savander, senior vice president of Nokia's business device unit. "We understand what mobility means for business. These devices embody our extensive knowledge of user-focused functional design, security and cutting-edge wireless technologies."
